MAN'S JOB

Album version



Well you can go out with him, play with all of his toys
But taking care of you darling ain't for one of the boys
Oh there's something in your soul that he's gonna rob
And loving you baby, loving you darling
Loving you woman is a man's man's job

Loving you's a man's job baby
Loving you's a man's job
Loving you's a man's job baby
Loving you's a man's job

Well now his kisses may thrill those other girls that he likes
But when it comes to treating a real woman right
Well of all of his tricks no they won't be enough
'Cause loving you baby, loving you woman
Loving you darling is a man's man's job

Loving you's a man's job baby
Loving you's a man's job
Loving you's a man's job baby
Loving you's a man's job

You're dancing with him, he's holding you tight
I'm standing here waiting to catch your eye
Your hand's on his neck as the music sways
All my illusions slip away

Now if you're looking for a hero, someone to save the day
Well darling my feet they're made of clay
But I've got something in my soul I wanna give it up
But getting up the nerve, getting up the nerve
Hmm getting up the nerve is a man's man's job

Loving you's a man's job baby
Loving you's a man's job
Loving you's a man's job baby
Loving you's a man's job
Loving you's a man's job woman
Loving you's a man's job
Loving you's a man's job baby
Loving you's a man's job
(Loving you's a man's job baby)
(Loving you's a man's job)
(Loving you's a man's job baby)
(Loving you's a man's job)
(Loving you's a man's job baby)
(Loving you...) [fades out]
