Lyrics Man Size Job - Koko Taylor

Man Sized Job performed by Koko Taylor
From the album Koko Taylor, Deluxe Edition

You've been going 'round talking,
Saying he's young enough to be my son
But you can't blame him,
'Cause you left your job half done
Now you're telling everybody I robbed the cradle
Oh, what a cradle I robbed!
So just get out the way
And let a boy do a man sized job

When you had what he got
You didn't know what to do with what you had
So put the blame where it belongs, boy,
I know you feel real bad
'Cause if the groove don't move me
I'm not the kind to sit around and sob
So, just get out the way
And let a boy do a man sized job

'Cause he young enough not to be old fashioned
And he old enough not to be naive
I say he young enough for a whole lot of action
And old enough to know how to please

You're telling everybody that I let him make a fool of me
But I'd rather be a fool than an old man's used-to-be
Now you're telling everybody I robbed the cradle
Oh, what a cradle I robbed!
So just get out the way
And let a boy do a man sized job

You've been going around telling everybody
How you make me feel
But time moving on, boy
Only you that's standing still
Now you're telling everybody I robbed the cradle
Oh, what a cradle I robbed!
So just get out the way
And let a boy do a man sized job
So just get out the way
And let a boy do a man sized job

Get out my way, get out my way, now
Get out my way, y'all, get out my way
Move, old man! Get out my way, now
Come on over here, little boy
Get out my way, get out my way
Move, old man! Let that young boy come over here
Get out my way, get out my way
