THE LIFE OF A WORKING GIRL — текст песни (sloan)

(C. Murphy/Sloan)

All the resumes were splendid
But she`s the one they recommended
For the job but starting late in life
Means she can`t celebrate

She hasn`t time or energy
To spend on friends and family
She`s got some catching up to do
And precious hours are few

Oh the life of a working girl
I used to see her all the time

She`s young at heart but no teenager
Early thirties I would wager
I came along a little later
So I could merely carbon date her

Age, she`s not keen to
It`s a trap, I a door
In the stage she can go through
Until the encore

Now she`s the one who gives belated
Birthday wishes devastated
She forgot it on the day
But this is not a job that pays her

By the hour or she`d be set
Before the sun so she forgets
These things like light upon her face
Who`ll spring her from this place

Oh the life of a working girl
I used to see her all the time
Oh the life of a working girl
I used to see her all the time

Now someone`s had a few successes
Who, I`ll give you twenty guesses
Take some credit just admit it
Everybody knows you did it

It`s not that I`m not happy for her
But it`s not easy to adore her
From afar does she get lonely
Like I do if I could only see her all the time

See her all the time
Oh the life of a working girl
I used to see her all the time
Oh the life of a working girl
I used to see her all the time
