Tough Job - Bobby Womack

I ain’t gonna flinch

It’s a tough job

But somebody’s gotta do it

It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it

It’s a tough state, but somebody’s gotta do it

Another day, another pound

I work myself into the ground

I gotta say that life’s a bitch

Why does it take so long, I want it all, to be rich

To save ourselves we work all night

Some people say that it ain’t right

To be a bore is really sad

But I’ll do anything to make it through the night

It’s a tough job but somebody’s gotta do it

It’s a tough state but somebody’s gotta do it

Listen to me now

It’s a long drop

I think I’m parachuting

It’s a tough job but somebody’s gotta do it

Another day, another pound

I work myself into the ground

Try to say that life’s a bitch

Why does it take so long for me to get rich

To slave all day and work all night

Some people say that it ain’t right

To be a bore is really sad

Don’t you do anything wrong man, you drive mad

Somebody’s gotta do it

It’s a long drop

I’m gonna say it again

It’s a tough state but somebody’s gotta do it

It’s a long drop

But somebody parachutes it

Listen to me now

I’m almost there, not far away

I won’t be square until it pays

I’m almost there, not far away

I won’t be square until it pays

Nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide

Do anything 'cause I’ve got to survive

I slave all day amd work all night

Some people say that it ain’t right

To be a bore is really sad

If I don’t do anything I’m gonna drive me mad

Its a tough job but somebody’s gotta do it

You got to, you got to, you got to

Everybody, everybody, you got to do it

'Cause some, somebody’s gotta do it

It’s a tough job but somebody’s got to do it

Oh yes it is

It’s a long drop, I’ll parachute it
