You Should Do This for a Living

[Verse 1]
Play us a song, girl
You've been looking mighty sad
Well, yes, sir, I guess there's just been
This whole thing with my dad
Let's come along, girl, won't you listen to me?
I know all the ins and outs of this industry
And he takes me by the hand
And he does what he likes because he can

[Verse 2]
They don't teach you this at school
That you don't have to go back with him to his room
Oh, music, it will set you free
The good God girl, it's a mission
And he turns up the reverb even though I said no
Says, "You gotta grow thicker skin, girl
If you wanna handle the blows"
I can't afford therapy
With the money they pay us to sing songs

[Chorus]
I can handle the heat
I can handle the heat
I can handle the heat
But get out my kitchen
I can handle the heat
I can handle the heat
I can handle the heat
But get out my kitchen
I can handle the heat (I can handle the heat)
I can handle the heat (I can handle the heat)
I can handle the heat (Oh)
But get out my kitchen

[Verse 3]
They don't teach you this at school
That you don't have to go back with him to his room
Oh, music, it will set you free
The good God man, get permission
And I can't afford therapy
With the money they pay me to sing songs for free
So I let him walk all over me
Never again, girl, just to sing songs
