Nightclub here
Liaison there
I do what I have to do
The habits of a lifetime
They all know
And sympathise with me

My great big plans
Are winding down
We both know that's nothing new
I'm taking care of business
But without you
It doesn't sing to me

All night through
Baby it's you, it's you
What we had before
We could have once more
Forever,
You'd see

I walk all night
And sleep all day
I'm dreaming only of you
I'm taking care of business
But without you
It doesn't sing to me

I'm taking care of business
This old world still spins along
But doesn't sing to me
