Come Monday morning, you see her waiting
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
[Chorus:]
Working girl, she's a working girl
Living in a man's world
Working girl, you gotta take a stand girl
The boss checks out her body
She's on the telephone telling 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 breaking the chain
[Chorus]
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, living in a man's world
Working girl, she's a working girl
Living in a man's world, oh
Working girl, she's a working girl
You've got to take a stand girl
Working girl, living in a man's world
Working girl, living in a man's world
Working girl, she's a working girl
You've got to take a stand girl
Working girl, she's a working girl
Living in a man's world, oh
Working girl, she's a working girl
You've got to take a stand girl
