Like It Or Not

All the pretty little girls they want to dance all night
But I oughta be sleepin’ with my eyes shut tight
I gotta rise up in the mornin’ work all day long
So, like it or not it’s what I gotta do
Just to keep it goin’ on

Like it or not
That’s the way it’s gotta be
You gotta do what’s right
For the whole family
If you wanna be the man
You’ve gotta be strong
So, like it or not it’s what I gotta do
Just to keep it goin’ on

My sweet wife works her fingers to the bone
And I know darn well that she’d rather be home
But the wages are short and money’s real tight
So like it or not that’s what she’s gotta do
Just to make us come out right

Like it or not
That’s the way it’s gotta be
She’s gotta do what’s right
For the whole family
If you wanna be a mom
Oooh, you’ve gotta be strong
So, like it or not it’s what she’s gotta do
Just to keep it goin’ on

Oh the price that you pay
Might seem like a lot
I’d give hour of the day and every penny I’ve got
Nobody said it would be easy
To raise a family
But like it or not
That’s the way it’s gotta be
Like it or not.....
