[Verse 1] Hey Mister, I'm a workin' man And the sign says that you need one I ain't too proud to say There's nothin' I won't do Hey Mister, I need this job 'Cause there's a lady waitin' I know you know what I mean If you ever had someone depend on you [Verse 2] Hey Mister, I can work all day I don't care about the weather Just take a look at these hands I'm as strong as you Hey Mister, I need this job 'Cause I told her that I'd get one I know you know what I mean If you ever had someone depend on you [Chorus] Wanna build her a mountain Startin' with a grain of sand Wanna build us a castle In the middle of the Promised Land Got a little one comin', he's gonna look up to me
We're gonna have a family [Verse 3] Hey Mister, I know I'm young But there's a man inside me If you look back at your life You had to start somewhere too Hey Mister, I need this job 'Cause I told her that I'd get one I know you know what I mean If you ever had someone love you [Chorus] Wanna build her a mountain Startin' with a grain of sand Wanna build us a castle In the middle of the Promised Land Got a little one comin', he's gonna look up to me We're gonna have a family [Tag] Hey Mister, I need this job 'Cause there's a lady waitin' I know you know what I mean If you ever had someone depend on you I know you know what I mean If you ever had someone love you
