I'm just a working girl
just earning a living
when the city is waking up
I'm going home
Working the midnight shift
while my friends are all out
they've all gone out dancing
having fun
Working the midnight shift
for that extra something
the things that are out of reach
I need so bad
Seems like I'm always leaving
when all the others arrives
my body still carries on
but I'm dying inside
Working the midnight shift
while my friends are all out
they've all gone out dancing
having fun
Working the midnight shift
for that extra something
the things that are out of reach
I need so bad
