lyrics

WORKIN' GIRL
(Strider/Delén)
She gets up before the sun gets up
Feet hit the treadmill with her eyes still shut
Oh Boy in her coffee every single day
Then she hops into the shower while she boils her eggs

Got the TV on and the radio blastin’
Husband's got a hangover, she ain’t askin’
Polar caps meltin’, the world’s gonna burn
But she’s got more important things to bother her

She’s a Workin’ Girl in a whacked out world
She’s a Workin’ Girl in a whacked out world

Drivin’ with a coffee cup between her legs
Hope it don’t spill when she hits the brakes
Tryin’ to do her make-up in the rear view mirror
Got one knee on the wheel, tryin’ to steer

It’s a struggle out there to stay in her lane
When every other driver is completely insane
Feels like a miracle she pulls into work
Still in one piece despite all the jerks

She’s a Workin’ Girl in a whacked out world
She’s a Workin’ Girl in a whacked out world
Doin’ her best, doin’ way to much
But it never ever seems to be enough
She’s a Workin’ Girl in a whacked out world
A Workin’ Girl in a whacked out world

(Instrumental solo: Patrick Ohlsson - electric guitar)

Walks into the office with her eyes on the clock
Got eight long hours to spend with her boss
Not quite sure what makes him tick
But she knows damn well he makes her sick

Does all his work in his coffee breaks
Doesn’t have a clue what a mess he makes
Leaves it to her to clean up his act
Takes all the credit then stabs her in the back

She’s a Workin’ Girl in a whacked out world
She’s a Workin’ Girl in a whacked out world
Doin’ her best, doin’ way to much
But it never ever seems to be enough
She could take two jobs to manage her bills
But she would still be standing still
She’s tired of fightin’ for her place in the sun
Just wanna have some fun when the work gets done

She’s a Workin’ Girl in a whacked out world
She’s a Workin’ Girl in a whacked out world
She’s a Workin’ Girl in a whacked out world
She’s a Workin’ Girl in a whacked out world
Woh yeah___
A Workin' Girl
She’s a Workin’ Girl in a whacked out world
She’s a Workin’ Girl
She’s a Workin’ Girl
She’s a Workin’ Girl
She’s a Workin’ Girl
