Two, three
Ain’t got antlers on my walls
But I sure know mating calls
From the stalls in the bars on a Friday night
And other boys may need a map
But I can close my eyes and
Have you wrapped around my fingers like that
So baby, when you need the job done
You can call me, baby
‘Cause you ain’t gotta tell me, it’s just in my nature
So take it like a taker, ’cause, baby, I’m a giver
Ain’t no need to hurry, ’cause, baby, I deliver
Ain’t no country boy quitter
I get the job done
I get the job done
Girl, I don’t need no lifted truck
Revving loud to pick you up
‘Cause how I look is how I touch
And in this strip mall town of dreams
Good luck finding a man who has the means
To rhinestone cowgirl all night long
So baby, if you’re never having one
Call me, baby
‘Cause you ain’t gotta tell me, it’s just in my nature
So take it like a taker, ’cause, baby, I’m a giver
Ain’t no need to hurry, ’cause, baby, I deliver
Ain’t no country boy quitter
I get the job done
I get the job done
Na, na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na
She gets the job done
Na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na
She gets the job done
Na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na
‘Cause you ain’t gotta tell me, it’s just in my nature
So take it like a taker, ’cause, baby, I’m a giver
Ain’t no need to hurry, ’cause, baby, I deliver
Ain’t no country boy quitter
I get the job done
I get the job done
I get the job do-o-o-o-o-o-one
I get the job do-o-o-o-o-o-one
I get the job done
Yes, ma’am, yes I do
You’re welcome
Empowering Confidence and Reversal of Stereotypes
Chappell Roan’s “The Giver” is a bold declaration of confidence and self-assuredness. The lyrics cleverly flip traditional gender roles, painting the narrator as a provider and initiator in romantic encounters. Roan uses playful country imagery—referencing mating calls, rhinestone cowgirls, and small-town dreams—to subvert expectations and celebrate her own agency. The repeated assurance of “I get the job done” becomes a mantra of reliability and empowerment, positioning the narrator as someone who delivers in love without hesitation or pretense.
Celebrating Authenticity
Throughout the song, Roan rejects superficial gestures and bravado, opting instead for authenticity and directness. The song’s catchy hooks and infectious “na-na-na” refrains reinforce the upbeat, unapologetic tone. “The Giver” ultimately stands as a tribute to knowing one’s worth and embracing the role of a giver in relationships, all while challenging traditional expectations in a refreshing, playful way.
