SLOAN lyrics : "The Life Of A Working Girl"

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


Ooh, the life of a working girl
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 can 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
