My boss is the boss's son and that makes for a real long day.
When that day is finally done I'm facing 40 thousand cars on the interstate.
Feeling lower than a well diggers shoes
knee deep in a mess of blues.
But those blues just fade away 
When I hear my baby say.
[Chorus]
It ain't nothin a little bit of love won't fix
It ain't nothin but a scratch, a little bit of love can't stitch.
It ain't nothin a little bit of love can't heal.
Your love makes me feel.
No matter what hands me -- it ain't nothin, it ain't nothin.
It was written all over her face she was about to climb the walls.
She said you gotta get me out of this place cause even
Cindarella got to go to the ball.
If you multiply hell times three that's what this day has been like for me.
I said honey we'll do the town. 
Just don't let it get you down.
Cause......
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
It ain't nothin, it ain't nothin, it ain't nothin, naugh it ain't nothin, it ain't nothin
