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 The plans she has made Or the times she has prayed inside Or what tears at her pride
