She's a working girl Come Monday morning

You see her waitin'

On the street for her ride

In an hour she'll be working

In a tower made of steel in the sky She's just a pawn in the struggle

In a never-ending fight to survive

Mama had to play someone else's game

You learn to keep it inside Working girl, livin' in a man's world

Working girl, you gotta take a stand girl The boss checks out her body

She's on the phone tellin' his lies

Run and get the coffee

And a smile hides the rage in her eyes Tonight she's searching for a reason

As she's walking home alone in the rain

Mama had to play someone else's game

Someday she's breakin' the chain Working girl, livin' in a man's world

Working girl, you gotta take a stand girl Nobody knows the dreams

She dares to dream

The plans she had made

Or the times she has prayed inside

Or what tears at her pride Working girl, livin' in a man's world

Working girl, you gotta take a stand girl
