Give me only what I need
It doesn't take too much to keep me satisfied
Down to work for my money and earn my keep
Hunger's got a way to tame a man's pride

(Can we build it up?)
I don't know we can (can we build it up?)
Let's get to work, every woman and man (can we raise it up?)
With pressure and time (can we build it up?)

(Can we build it up?)
I don't know we can (can we build it up?)
Let's get to work, every woman and man (can we raise it up?)
Well, with pressure and time (can we build it up?)
I said, I'm gonna get mine, yeah

Hey, I'm not asking for a throne and crown
I'm not pining for a starving queen
Tooth and nail will wear any man down
And my Mama keeps telling me I'm way too lean

Let's get to work, every woman and man (can we raise it up?)
With pressure and time (can we build it up?)
I said, I'm gonna get mine

Take me out of this mudslide of never enough (can we build it up?)
Let me eat from the fruit right off of the tree (can we build it up?)
When God gets his rest 'cause the six days are just too rough (can we build it up?)
I can only pray he doesn't forget about me, oh

(Can we build it up?)
Get to work, every woman and man (can we build it up?)
Pressure and time (can we build it up?)
Said, every woman and man (can we build it up?)
I don't know if we can (can we build it up?)
Get to work, every woman and (can we build it up?)
Pressure and time (can we build it up?)
I said, I'm gonna get mine

Oh, pressure and time, hey-hey, yeah
And I'm gonna get mine
Hmm-hmm
