[Verse 1]
I was in the kitchen
You were at the front desk
You knew my bad days
And I knew the rest
Orders in the fryer
Names by the door
We laughed through the rush
Like we’d done it before
[Pre-Chorus]
Now we don’t clock in
On the same old floor
Still you walk in
And I want to give you more
[Chorus]
Work wife, work wife
You’re still my light
Work wife, work wife
I’d burn the world for you tonight
If you fall, I’m there
I’ll always be true
Work wife, work wife
I care for you
[Verse 2]
Different shifts now
Different roads to home
But your name still hits me
Like a ring on the phone
I see you on a weekend
And it feels so right
Like the room gets softer
When you step inside
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need the old badge
To know what we are
Some people stay close
Even when they’re far
[Chorus]
Work wife, work wife
You’re still my light
Work wife, work wife
I’d burn the world for you tonight
If you fall, I’m there
I’ll always be true
Work wife, work wife
I care for you
[Bridge]
If the floor goes cold
And the day runs mean
Call my name, baby
I’ll be on your team
No matter the hours
No matter the miles
You’ll get my hand
And you’ll get my smile
[Final Chorus]
Work wife, work wife
You’re still my light
Work wife, work wife
I’d burn the world for you tonight
If you fall, I’m there
I’ll always be true
Work wife, work wife
I care for you
