«Hard working woman»
Tekst: Monika Nordli Musikk: Monika Nordli
ANOTHER TWELVE-HOUR SHIFT GONE BYI STUMBLE DOWN MY STAIRS
OPEN UP MY MAILBOX
A STACK OF LETTERS THERE
A FROZEN TV-DINNER
AS I OPEN UP MY MAIL
FEEL MY HEART STOP BEATIN`
RAIN TURNS INTO HAIL
A LETTER FROM THE OFFICE
WITH THE COLD AND BITTER NEWS
THEY`RE CLOSING DOWN THE FACTORY
THEY HAVE TO CUT ME LOOSE
THE COLOUR`S QUICKLY FADED
I FEEL CHEATED AND ABUSED
LIKE ANY HARD-WORKIN`WOMAN
CRYIN`THE HARD-ACHIN`BLUES
ANOTHER DAY IT PASSES BY
SLEEPWALKIN`THROUGH THE PILE
OF BILLS AND DIRTY LAUNDRY
IS THIS WHY I WALKED DOWN THE ISLE?
A SNEAKY LATE NIGHT FEELIN`
AS I CALL HIM ON THE PHONE
SAYS HE HAS A MEETING –
DON`T KNOW WHEN HE`LL BE HOME
I HEAR A WOMANS LAUGHTER
AS HE HANGS UP SO AMUSED
HIS VOICE SO STRANGE AND DIFFERENT
I KNOW THAT I WILL LOSE
I SEE MY OWN REFLECTION
I FEEL CHEATED AND ABUSED
LIKE ANY HARD-WORKIN` WOMAN
CRYING THE HARD-WORKIN` BLUES
