Lyrics
I watch my man get dressed in the morning
Then I start my day
I fix breakfast and get the kids on their way
I got to do something to this house, oh, it's such a mess
I wish I could go back to bed and get me some rest
Oh, I'm so tired of the same old routine
Seems like all I do
All I do is wash, cook, and clean
I know, I'm only human
No cape in the closet (No cape in the closet)
No magic wand
I know, I'm only human, a woman's work is never done
Now it's time for the kids to come home
The house is clean and the dinner's on
I hear keys running in the door
It's the man of this house
He got this look in his eyes
And I know what that's all about
He wants to make love, but I don't have the strength
He gets upset, now it's an argument
I know, I'm only human
No cape in the closet (No cape in the closet)
No magic wand
I know, I'm only human, a woman's work is never done
I know there's a lot of women out there
Who can identify with me
You know between the kids cooking, cleaning
And a man it's a full-time job plus overtime
Day in and day out it never ends
I know I need me a break
I just can't do everything
Who do they think I am
I know I'm only human
No cape in the closet (No cape in the closet)
No magic wand
I know I'm only human, I've done everything
Oh, I always think of the children, I wash and I cook and clean
For you to turn around and be so mean, but I need time
I need time right now for myself, I know I'm so tired
I can't do the same old routine no more
