  (^^^^^^^^^^^ This the main part, the second half of each measure

Well now his kisses may thrill

Those other girls that he likes

But when it comes to treatin'

A real woman right

Well of all of his tricks

No they won't be enough

'Cause lovin' you baby lovin' you woman

Lovin' you darlin' is a man's man's job

Lovin' you's a man's job baby

Lovin' you's a man's job

Lovin' you's a man's job baby

Lovin' you's a man's job



You're dancin' with him he's holding you tight

Bb



I'm standing here waitin' to catch your eye

Dm                           Am



Your hand's on his neck as the music sways

Bb



All my illusions slip away

Dm               Am

REPEAT RIFF FROM INTRO TWICE





Now if you're lookin' for a hero

Someone to save the day

Well darlin' my feet

They're made of clay

But I've got something in my soul

And I wanna give it up

But gettin' up the nerve

Gettin' up the nerve

Gettin' up the nerve is a man's man's job

Lovin' you's a man's job baby

Lovin' you's a man's job

Lovin' you's a man's job woman

Lovin' you's a man's job
