Lyrics
Baby i know you work real hard
Forty hours every week
Then you come home and clean the house
Dont know how you find the time for me
But then I that come on look
You know it drives me plum insane
to see that crazy side of you
you know just what you do
love when you roll that way
Chorus
When you let your hair fall down
And you put your cares aside
When you come all unwound
I cant deny , makes me glad you're mine
When we go out on friday night
and you put on that little dress
shows the way that God made you
it aint fair I must confess
Because the other guys '
wish that they were in my place
You put on your little show
Wink at them before we go
love it when you roll that way
Chorus
And after we turn out the lights
You tell me its getting late
Just when I think that you're too tired
You find a way to light that fire
Love when you roll that way
Tag
Its almost more then I can stand
I know I'm a lucky man
love it when you roll that way
