Lyrics
Oh yeah!
Expression of affirmation or agreement
Uh huh
Confirmation or agreement
Listen to me
Request for attention or emphasis
I woke up in the mornin', I'm still flat on my back
Describes waking up with physical discomfort
Couldn't move a muscle like I had a heart attack
Feeling immobilized, as if experiencing a heart attack
The night was wild and woolly
Describing a chaotic and unpredictable night
Didn't think I'd make it through it
Expressing doubt about surviving the night
'Cause lovin' you's a dirty job
Declares that loving the person is a challenging and demanding task
And I'm the man to do it
Expresses readiness and determination to fulfill the challenging task of loving
Lovin' you is a dirty job
Reiteration that loving is a difficult task
Lovin' you is a dirty job
Emphasizes the difficulty of loving
You put me through the ringer and hung me out to dry
Describes being emotionally tested and abandoned
You licked me off your fingers just like a piece of pie
Metaphorically compares being discarded to being consumed
You break my heart in pieces
Expresses the pain of heartbreak
But I've got the glue to glue it
Asserts the ability to mend the broken heart
Girl lovin' you's a dirty job
Reaffirms that loving is a difficult and messy task
And I'm the man to do it
Declares commitment to undertake the challenging task of love
