about
Ever had a work crush, someone you maybe liked but couldn't tell them?
Selim tells you all about his in his debut single, "Wurk Wife."
lyrics
It’s the end of the night
Bouta close up
Say goodnight to my wurk wife
She keeps my mood up,
She helps the day go by
My wurk wiiiiiifffeeeee
Didn’t even notice the time
Don’t wanna go home
Gotta go back to my real life
I’ll see her tomorrow
Cuz this is my real life
From 9-5
She’s got me excited
Just came off a double
I’ll work overtime
I’ll work in the morning
I’ll come in if is pouring
Just be next youuuuu
I knowww you feel it too
That’s always bringing up yo boyfriend
Bet you thinkin bout me
On the weekend
You Covered in greese
With you hair in a bun
Me elbow deep
In a bowl of cream cheese
This is just how it’s gotta be
Clocking in & out during the week
Trying hard not to make a scene
I feel like I’m in a cage
Trying hard not to throw a fit
I feel like I’m insane
It’s someone I think I really fw
It’s so many things I wanna say
And things I don’t have say
Cuz she caught it from just a look.
I think I my be hooked
I feel I’m in a good book
Someone wrote me into a tragic story
And chose to torment me
With resturant wages,
Then this girl came way and
I can’t do anything about it -
So if you see me and I’m pouting
it’s bc I gotta wurk wife
I only gotta wurk wife
can’t show her my real life
That would be inappropriate
So if all I can do is
Show up and smile,
pass notes backnforth a while
And polish silver then so be it.
Pass me a little piece of turkey
off your plate I’ll eat it.
I’ll start a pot of fresh coffee -
Medium roast and we’ll drink it.
We’ll get through this shift caffeinated
It do be slow in here though, so
Imma try not to think about you naked
I be over thinking bout it, baby
I don’t even matter
Why am I driving myself crazy
I can’t even have her
She probably don’t even want me.
So why I actin so simpy
Over the barista work
who happens to share
the same shifts me…
Cuz she makes the schedule!
She did that shit on purpose
That’s why we always workin 3rd shift
Just to hang out in person
With my wurk wife, (wurk wife)
With my wurk wife, (wurk wife)
With my wurk wife, (wurk wife)
With my wurk wife, (wurk wife)
Clockin in & out, just to see my
Wurk wife, wurk wife, wurk wife, wurk wife
Perks of the job, gettin close to the
Wurk life, wurk life, wurk life, wurk life
She don’t exist outside the job though, my
Wurk wife, wurk wife, wurk wife, wurk wife
Gettin along great, with my
Wurk wife, wurk wife, wurk wife, wurk wife
Doin word searches, and sudoku
Playin these games,
Tryna act like it isn’t what is…
Doing crossword puzzles with my
Wurk wife, wurk wife, wurk wife, wurk wife
