And she wonders where she is
And it's strange to her
Some people seem to have everythingNine a.m. on the hour hand
And she's waiting for the bell
And she's looking real pretty
Just wait for her clientele

So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her rightTwenty-eight 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 thereIt'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

Already knows
