[INTRO — fast punchy drums, distorted guitar stabs, bouncing bass]
[Female vocal — playful, quick]
You want love?
Better clock in.
[VERSE 1 — rapid, bouncy phrasing]
You got that smile, you got that charm,
Know how to pull me right into your arms,
You talk real sweet, you kiss real good,
But loving me takes more than looking good.
Don’t want a maybe, don’t want pretend,
Don’t want a lover who’s gone by the weekend,
Show me you’re here when the fun wears thin,
If you want forever, better jump right in!
[CHORUS — FAST, punchy, each line its own rhythmic hit]
You gotta—
[COMPLETE SILENCE — 1 beat]
Put in work.
To make us work.
You can’t just flirt.
To make this work.
Show me first.
What I’m worth.
Love gets hard.
Love gets hurt.
Stick around.
Don’t reverse.
Want my heart?
Better earn—
[STOP — hard beat cut]
Put in work.
[VERSE 2 — driving drums, playful attitude]
Call me back, show up, make time,
Learn what’s yours and remember what’s mine,
Say what you mean, mean what you say,
Don’t save your effort for Valentine’s Day.
Love me loud on a Tuesday night,
Talk it all out when we wanna fight,
Meet me halfway, don’t make me chase,
Baby, loving me ain’t a spectator race!
[CHORUS — bigger guitars, stacked backing vocals]
You gotta—
[COMPLETE SILENCE — 1 beat]
Put in work.
To make us work.
You can’t just flirt.
To make this work.
Show me first.
What I’m worth.
Love gets hard.
Love gets hurt.
Stick around.
Don’t reverse.
Want my heart?
Better earn—
[STOP]
Put in work.
[BRIDGE — half-time drums, bass pulse, vocal builds]
I don’t need perfect every day,
I need somebody willing to stay,
Someone who listens, someone who learns,
Someone who gives just as much in return.
You want forever?
Baby, prove it.
Love takes effort—
So let’s do it!
[RAP — beat kicks in FAST; continuous one-breath flow, minimal pauses]
Clock in no breaks better pick up the pace, keep up with me if you want your place, talk real slick but I know what it’s worth, words don’t mean shit if you don’t put in work, show up stay up step up don’t quit, love ain’t luck gotta work for this shit, give what you get and get what you give, if you want this forever then show me you live it, day after day when the new wears thin, when we’re both pissed off and nobody wins, talk it out work it out don’t run first, if you want this love then you better put in work!
[BEAT CUT — half beat]
[FINAL CHORUS — explosive full band, chant-like delivery]
You gotta—
[COMPLETE SILENCE — 1 beat]
PUT IN WORK.
TO MAKE US WORK.
YOU CAN’T JUST FLIRT.
TO MAKE THIS WORK.
Show me first.
What I’m worth.
Love gets hard.
Love gets hurt.
Stick around.
Don’t reverse.
Want my heart?
Better earn—
[EVERYTHING CUTS OUT]
Put in work.
[OUTRO — single guitar/bass hit, immediate silence]
