Christophe Beck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I took your twenty bucks
No, I didn′t get the front yard cut
'Cause I had to wash my truck
Will you bring me a cold one, baby
Turn on the TV
We′ll talk about this later
Guys do it all the time
And you expect us to understand
When the shoe's on the other foot
You know that′s when it hits the fan
Get over it, honey, life′s a two way street
Or you won't be a man of mine
So I had some beers with the girls last night
Guys do it all the time
You look like you just took
A long look in the mirror
Tell me baby if things don′t look
A whole lot clearer
Get over it, honey, life's a two way street
Or you won′t be a man of mine
So I had some beers with the girls last night
Guys do it all the time
Yeah, guys do it
Yeah, guys do it
All the time, all the time
Yeah, guys do it
Yeah, guys do it
All the time
Christophe Beck's song "Guys Do It All the Time" tells the story of a woman who is fed up with her partner's double standards. She is tired of being judged for doing the same things that he does, such as leaving clothes around the house, not completing chores, and going out with friends. Her frustration with his behavior is made clear in lines such as "Guys do it all the time, and you expect us to understand" and "You look like you just took a long look in the mirror, tell me baby if things don't look a whole lot clearer."
The chorus of the song reinforces the woman's message that her partner needs to recognize the inequality in their relationship. She sings, "Get over it, honey, life's a two way street, or you won't be a man of mine." The repetition of the line "Guys do it all the time" drives home her point that it's not fair for her to be held to a higher standard than her partner.
The song gained popularity for its strong message of equality and its catchy melody. It sparked debate and controversy about gender roles and expectations in relationships. Some saw it as a feminist anthem, while others criticized it for perpetuating stereotypes about men and women. Regardless of interpretation, "Guys Do It All the Time" remains a popular and enduring country hit that continues to resonate with audiences today.
