Nine to Five

Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen Pour myself a cup of ambition Yawnin', stretchin', try to come to life Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin' Out on the streets the traffic starts jumpin' And folks like me on the job from nine to five Workin' nine to five What a way to make a livin' Barely gettin' by It's all takin' and no givin' They just use your mind And they never give you credit It's enough to drive you Crazy if you let it My two lives have got me hoppin' Dawn to midnight there's no stoppin' Don't know which I'm motherin' the most Pack his lunch and kiss my son And grab my purse and I keep runnin' Got so much on my plate, I could choke Working Nine to five For service and devotion You would think that I Would deserve a fat promotion Want to move ahead But the boss won't seem to let me I swear sometimes that man is out to get me Nine to Five Nine to Five They let your dream Just to watch 'em shatter You're just a step On the boss man's ladder But you got dreams he'll never take away You're in the same boat with a lot of your friends Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in The tide's gonna turn And it's all gonna roll your way Nine to Five (Nine to Five) As long as we're together You know You and I Will make it through whatever They can't keep us down We'll just rise above it You hold on to me We'll tell them where to shove it Nine to Five you can loose your mind Get up and work, get up and work Nine to Five you can loose your mind (Nine to Five) Workin Nine to Five Nine to Five you can loose your mind Nine to Five It's enough to drive you crazy It's enough to drive you crazy It's enough to drive you crazy It's enough to drive you It's enough It's enough It's enough It's enough to drive you Get up and work, get up and work Nine to five Nine to Dreams and plans are in the making (Five) Success is out there for the taking Wish it was as simple as it sounds (Simple as it sounds) I swear to you I'm gonna do it Grit my teeth and I'll get through it (ooo) Its hard to see the upside when you're down Working Nine to Five It became necessary When my husband Dick (Dick) Left me for his secretary Never worked before But somehow I've gotta make it Til I learn the ropes I guess I just have to fake it Get up and work get up and work, workin' Nine to Five So many of us do it But we know inside We're gunna make it through it But there's a brighter day And we'll keep looking toward it And we'll find that dream Soon as we can just afford it Nine to five (Lose your mind, woah oh oh oh) Workin' nine to five (Get up and work, get up and work) Nine to five (Woah oh oh oh) Workin' Nine to five (Nine to Five) Nine to five (Lose your mind) Nine to five It's Enough It's Enough It's Enough I deserve a fat promotion Hard to see the upside (Nine to five) Tide's gunna turn Workin' Nine to Five Nine to five
