Tough Job Songtext
von 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
