He's the Reason for the Sweatdrops

I love writing weightlifting song parodies. It doesn't get much feed back but, for the purposes of humoring myself, I will keep on writing these.

This one is called, "He's the reason for the Sweatdrops on my Bar." This talks about my coach.

 Jessica might not be friends with me after reading this. Taylor Swift is her soul sister. Enjoy my country-pop blasphemy.

Joe walks by me  
I fake a set so he won't see  
That 'lil rest I'm needin' 
Between every rep for me
 
I'll bet I'm better than 

That girl he coaches now
And she's got the strength
That I have to lift without
 
Joe talks to me  

I laugh 'cause it's just not funny  
I can't even see  
A reason why he coaches me
 
He says he knows what's best

He's finally got it right 
I wonder if he knows  
He's why I'm tired at night
 
He's the reason for the sweat drops on my bar 

The only one that gets me strong enough to lift a car. 
He's the voice in my head I keep hearing  
Don't know why I do
 

Joe walks by me  
Can he tell that I can't breathe? 
And there he goes, so commandingly 

Telling me how many reps there needs to be
 
I better hold him tight  

Give him all I've got 

Look in those fearful eyes  
And know I'm lucky 'cause
 
He's the reason for the sweat drops on my bar

The only one that gets me strong enough to lift a car.
He's the song in the gym I hear o'er again
Don't know why I do
 
So I drive home alone 

As I turn out the light  
I'll put his workout down  
And maybe get some sleep tonight
 
He's the reason for the sweat drops on my bar 

The only one that gets me strong enough to lift a car. 
He's the voice in my head I keep hearing  
Don't know why I do

He's the time taken up 
but there's never enough  
And he's all that I need to lift the most
Joe looks at me  
I fake a rep so he won't see
