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 telephone 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 Or the plans she has 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
