美國歌壇黑人天后［黛安娜羅絲］──R&B／靈魂／放克曲──［Bottom Line／底線］

You say youre steady and youre committed

But last night you werent around when I needed you

You keep on talkin, but I need action

This divided affection just wont do

I hate to give you an ultimatum

But when Im in love, I want it all the way

Thats the bottom line

If you really wanna keep my love

Cant be givin up whats mine

Oh, thats the bottom line

I cant settle for a part time thing

Need your lovin all the time

No imitations, give me the real thing

Sugar-coated promises are not enough for me

Cause if youre fakin, dont be mistaken

Ill be out the door, before you count to three

I hate to sound uncompromising

But Im never gonna play nobodys fool

Oh, thats the bottom line

If you really wanna keep my love

Cant be givin up whats mine

Oh, thats the bottom line

I cant settle for a part-time thing

Need your lovin all the time

If you really wanna get my love

You gotta give me your lovin, no strings attached

If you really wanna keep my heart

You gotta jump it and do it, no turning back

And I hate to sound uncompromising

But Im never gonna play nobodys fool

Oh, thats the bottom line

If you really wanna keep my love

Cant be givin up whats mine

Oh, thats the bottom line

I cant settle for a part-time thing

Need your lovin all the time

Thats the bottom line

If you really wanna keep my love

Cant be givin up whats mine

Oh, thats the bottom line

I cant settle for a part-time thing

Need your lovin all the time

Thats the bottom line

If you really wanna keep my love

Cant be givin up whats mine

Oh, thats the bottom line

I cant settle for a part-time thing

Need your lovin all the time

在RCA公司度過起伏不定的六年後

１９８８年, 美國歌壇黑人天后黛安娜羅絲（Diana Ross）重回娘家摩城（Motown）唱片

１９８９年６月　４５歲的羅絲推出〔Workin’ Overtime／加班〕大碟

這張專輯請回曾製作出黛安娜生涯最暢銷大碟──１９８１年〔Diana〕的前Chic團員Nile Rodgers製作,

羅絲與Rodgers負責執行製作

只是發行後受到惡評　商業成績不好：

美國專輯榜＃１１６；英國榜略佳＃２３　拿到銀唱片（６萬張＋）］　

成為黛安娜單飛後在美國名次最低的一張大碟

僅次於她在The Supreme時代推出的〔Funny Girl〕(＃１５０)  至今在美只賣出十萬張

前兩支主打皆未入Billboard單曲榜

１９８９年９月　羅絲推出美國第三單曲／大碟總數第四主打［Bottom Line／底線］

此曲由Preston Glass譜寫, Nile Rodgers製作成一首當代R&B／New Jack Swing

節拍強勁

可是大眾反應依舊不佳　並沒打入排行榜

繼續延續黛安娜在美國的事業低潮, 雖然日候她在海外地區的聲勢會再回升
