I work hard everyday come rain or shine Don't need nobody to tell me about a girl of mine She's got so much love, saved it all for me I would not be lying, it's the way it's got to be So Mr. Big Better watch out And don't you hang around me now That all for you, I would dig A great big hole in the ground I don't care who you are, so don't explain Better get on out of here, and don't you come back again I don't want a thing from ya', don't wanna give you nothing too So get on out of here before I lose my cool Mr. Big Better watch out And don't you hang around me now That all for you, I would dig A great big hole in the ground
