Mr. Fix It Songtext
von The Temptations

Fellas
I want you to take heed to the words of this song
(Oooh) alright
′Cause if you don't (oh, no)
Your woman will be long gone

You′ve been getting in the habit of
Taking her for granted, love
Silly really, amateur
Said a couple of things to her

Breaking up and making love
Dealing with the baggage of
And have the nerve to be selfish when you're making love

Leaving the room for Mr. Fix it
To get all in your business (for her)
Have I really mention
Like he's fixing on your kitchen (fixing on)
But he′s fixing on your missus


′Cause you never paid attention
And find out what was missing, listen
Boy, you better lighten up

Get down on your knees (oh)
Roll up your sleeves
Don't want to let this man hanging around the house when you leave

There′s work to be done
You need to be the one
Oh, Mr. Fix it
You be fixing on your woman

Get down on your knees
Roll up your sleeves
Don't want to let this man hanging around the house when you leave

There′s work to be done
You need to be the one
Oh, Mr. Fix it (oh)
You be fixing on your woman

She don't feel like she′s in love no more
Busy with the household chores
Check out at the grocery store
I'm sweating, no running out anymore


She ain't your slave
Or your live-in maid
Just take your breakfast
Get your briefcase
And get out the door

Leaving the room for Mr. Fix it
To get all in your business
Have I really mention
Like he′s fixing on your kitchen (fixing on)
But he′s fixing on your missus (yeah, yeah)

'Cause you never paid attention
And find out what was missing, listen
Boy, you better lighten up

Get down on your knees (yeah)
Roll up your sleeves (oh, yeah)
Don′t want to let this man hanging around the house when you leave
(You don't want him hanging around)

There′s work to be done
You need to be the one (you know)
Oh, Mr. Fix it (you know)
You be fixing on your woman (you know)

Get down on your knees (on your knees)
Roll up your sleeves
Don't want to let this man hanging around the house when you leave
(You don′t want him hanging around)

There's work to be done
You need to be the one
Oh, Mr. Fix it
You be fixing on your woman (on your woman)

Fellas (oh)
I want you to take ease (fixing on your woman)
If you don't (oh)
Your woman could be long gone
(Better do the work yourself)

Get down on your knees (oh)
(Get down on your knees)
Roll up your sleeves (oh, no, no, no)
(Roll up your sleeves) yeah, yeah
On your woman, on your woman

Remember the days when you were rolling through the night
Get out on sunrise
And give us sweet surprises

You are the one that said she′ll never be alone
She makes your house a home (yeah)
But you don′t like a nice egg

Take a stand, be a man
Wear your hat
To go and end up to leave her own

You better TCB
Your day will be
'Cause wait until she′s gone (gone)

Get down on your knees (on your knees)
Roll up your sleeves (oh, oh)
Don't want to let this man hanging around the house when you leave

There′s work to be done (to be done)
You need to be the one (oh, yeah)
Oh, Mr. Fix it
You be fixing on your woman (on your woman)

Get down on your knees
Roll up your sleeves (I know, I know, I know)
Don't want to let this man hanging (I know right now)
Around the house when you leave

There′s work to be done
You need to be the one
Oh, Mr. Fix it (to be the one)
You be fixing on your woman (you fixing in your other way)

Get down on your knees
Roll up your sleeves (yeah)
Don't want to let this man hanging around the house when you leave

(I don't break somebody I see) there′s work to be done
You need to be the one (no, no)
Oh, Mr. Fix it
You be fixing on your woman (nobody making around my good body)

Get down on your knees
Roll up your sleeves
Don′t want to let this man hanging around the house when you leave (oh, yeah)
(You don't want to be the one)

There′s work to be done
You need to be the one (no, you don't want it)
Oh, Mr. Fix it (hey, you don′t want it)
You be fixing on your woman (oh, oh)

Get down on your knees (on your knees)
Roll up your sleeves (roll up your sleeves)
Don't want to let this man hanging around the house when you leave

There′s work to be done
You need to be the one
Oh, Mr. Fix it
You be fixing on your woman

Get down on your knees
Roll up your sleeves
Don't want to let this man hanging around the house when you leave
There's work to be done
