Note: Recorded in December, 1989 at Soundworks West. Springsteen handles guitar and lead vocals and his three-man backing band on this recording is Randy Jackson (bass), Roy Bittan (keyboards), and Jeff Porcaro (drums). Background vocalists are Bobby King and Sam Moore. According to comments by King, he and Sam Moore were both called into the studio in January 1990 to overdub their background vocals onto the already completed basic recording. Both versions are the same core recording. V1a, which many consider superior, includes more prominent vocals from both King and Moore and what sounds like a different vocal take by Springsteen.
Studio Sessions: Human Touch
Man's Job |
Well you can go out with him, play with all of his toys
But taking care of you darling ain't for one of the boys
Oh there's something in your soul that he's gonna rob
And loving you baby, loving you darling
Loving you woman is a man's man's job
Loving you's a man's job baby
Loving you's a man's job
Loving you's a man's job baby
Loving you's a man's job
Well now his kisses may thrill those other girls that he likes
But when it comes to treating a real woman right
Well of all of his tricks no they won't be enough
'Cause loving you baby, loving you woman
Loving you darling is a man's man's job
Loving you's a man's job baby
Loving you's a man's job
Loving you's a man's job baby
Loving you's a man's job
You're dancing with him, he's holding you tight
I'm standing here waiting to catch your eye
Your hand's on his neck as the music sways
All my illusions slip away
Now if you're looking for a hero, someone to save the day
Well darling my feet they're made of clay
But I've got something in my soul I wanna give it up
But getting up the nerve, getting up the nerve
Hmm getting up the nerve is a man's man's job
Loving you's a man's job baby
Loving you's a man's job
Loving you's a man's job baby
Loving you's a man's job
Loving you's a man's job woman
Loving you's a man's job
Loving you's a man's job baby
Loving you's a man's job
(Loving you's a man's job baby)
(Loving you's a man's job)
(Loving you's a man's job baby)
(Loving you's a man's job)
(Loving you's a man's job baby)
(Loving you…)
