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

in this song consists of the jangly high notes of the chords, which are

not as distinct (and therefore probably not exact :) ))

Well you can go out with him

F Bb F

Play with all of his toys

C F

But takin' care of you darlin'

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

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
