Daddy taught me how to swing a 20 oz. hammer
Drive a nail through the center of a 2x4
And I used to make a livin' walkin' steel on a buildin'
Hangin' tin on the edge of the 25th floor
Sweat, dirt, back hurt, all in a day's work
Any ole boy could do
But baby lovin' you is a

Man's job 24-7
Someone who'll be tough enough to take the heat
It's a man's job, and you're the kind of woman
That needs the kinda lover that a boy can't be
Now lookin' at you girl I see
It's a man's job
A job for a man like me

These two hands have done a lot of hard work
But underneath the surface there's a tender touch
You can rest assured knowin', if your heart's been broken
In a flash, I can patch that baby right up
That same lame champagne, smooth talkin'
Love game, that's what all the boys'll do.
They don't know lovin' you is a

Man's job 24-7
Someone who'll be tough enough to take the heat
It's a man's job, and you're the kind of woman
That needs the kinda lover that a boy can't be
Now lookin' at you girl I see
It's a man's job
A job for a man like me

No baby I don't mind...
Puttin' in a little overtime.

It's a man's job
Oh, it's a man's job

It's a man's job 24-7
Someone who'll be tough enough to take the heat
It's a man's job, and you're the kind of woman
That needs the kinda lover that a boy can't be
Now lookin' at you girl I see
It's a man's job
A job for a man like me

It's a man's job, 24-7
It's a man's job
