[Intro]
Yeah!

[Verse 1]
I hit the ground running with the morning sun
When a job needs doing, I get it done
I show up early and I go home late
Everybody knows I pull my weight

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't mind doing
A little heavy lifting
I'm always giving
My everything
Even when I'm hurting
I keep on working
And as long as I'm still alive and kicking
I'll be sticking to the heavy lifting

[Verse 2]
Well, baby, I hurt, he done me wrong
The going got tough and got gone
Well, he aren’t here and I aren’t him
And even if the walls come fallen in

[Chorus]
You know I don't mind doing
A little heavy lifting
I'm always giving
My everything
Even when I'm hurting
I keep on working
And as long as I'm still alive and kicking
I'll be sticking to the heavy lifting
Yeah

[Verse 3]
Baby, when your heart is aching
Lean on me, my back aren’t breaking
All I'm saying is

[Chorus]
I don't mind doing
A little heavy lifting
I'm always giving
My everything
Even when I'm hurting
I keep on working
And as long as I'm still alive and kicking
I'll be sticking to the heavy lifting

[Verse 4]
Honey, I aren’t quitting
I'm always giving
My everything

[Bridge]
Yeah

[Outro]
As long as I'm still alive and kicking
I'll be sticking to the heavy lifting
Yeah
