lyrics

My mama asked me what I want
this year for my birthday
I smiled and said, “maybe some earrings…
and a brand new jigsaw blade”

I enjoy the company of a man, once in a while
But he better not get in my way when I’m changin’ a flat tire
No he better no get in my way, in my way…
I just need my

Power tools
My mama didn’t raise no fool
They give me the power
to bend and break your rules
And then I fix’em up just how I like ‘em…
with my power tools

Sometimes I need an extra pair of hands
to get the job done
but don't you put those hands on me,
because you’re regret it, son
No, don’t put your helpin’ hands on me
I don’t need it, I just need my

Power tools
My mama didn’t raise no fool
They give me the power
to bend and break your rules
And then I fix’em up just how I like ‘em…
with my power tools

I can stain the deck, I like to wear a pretty dress
I never break a nail, I only break a sweat
I like to feel pampered on ladies night,
But when my hands are dirty, I feel alive
They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend
But at the end of the day they just can’t contend

With my

Power tools
My mama didn’t raise no fool
They give me the power
to bend and break your rules
And then I fix’em up just how I like ‘em…
with my power tools
