that's what I'm doin

workin under the hood of the car
grease under my nails
knuckles all bloody, cos it's too hard
to get that thing loose, try as I may

And I'm about ready to toss it all in
but then I hear your sweet voice callin
"how's it goin baby? what are you doin?"

I'm just working the best I can
Try to keep things running
Tryin to be the man
that you need me to be
I'm just loving you by workin real hard
Keepin you safe when you're drivin the car
Cos I want you back home again
Yeah that's what I'm doin

sitting here stuck in this traffic,
try to get to work on time
feel like a dog, but I can't call in sick
why don't nine to five jobs ever start at nine?

half past two, that's about all i"m takin
your text my cell, it starts vibratin
"feelin better, cutes? what are you doin?"

I'm just working the best I can
Trying to keep things goin
Tryin to be the man
that you need me to be
I'm just loving you, and workin real hard
To give you what you need, to give you all
Cos your such a treasure to me
Yeah that's what I'm doing

Sittin on the sofa discussing that new book
about making life and love good
over your glasses , you give me that look
I scoot on over, like I know I should

Wrap my arms around you, you're leanin in
I push your hair back with a gentle kiss then
You smile, "hey mister, what are you doin?"

I'm learning from you the best I can
How to be a great lover
How to be the man
that you need me to be
I'm just loving you, body and soul
Keepin you warm when life is cold
Holdin you right next to me
Yeah that's what I'm doing
