She Works Hard For The Money

She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right

Onetta here in the corner stand and wonders where she is
And it's strange to her, some people seem to have everything
9 Am on the hour hand and she's waiting for the bell
And she's looking real pretty, she's waiting for her clientele

She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right

Twentyeight years have come and gone, and she's seen a lot of tears
Of the ones who come in, they really seem to need her there
It's a sacrifice working day to day for little money just tips for pay
But it's worth it all just to hear them say that they care

She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right

She already knows she's seen her bad times
She already knows these are the good times
She'll never sell out, she never will, not for a dollar bill
She works hard

She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
