Lake Street Dive - Being A Woman Lyrics

Lake Street Dive Lyrics

"Being A Woman"

Being a woman is a full time job
I wake up in the morning and I punch the clock
People tell me, "take it easy" but they don't say to stop

Being a woman is a full time job
Being a woman is a full time job
Being a woman is a full time job

And I work all day
And I work all night

Being a woman is an uphill climb
Eighty cents on the dollar and you need every dime
'Cause you've got a little baby and she cries all the time

Being a woman is an uphill climb
Being a woman is an uphill climb
When you're a woman you work full time

Yeah, you work all day
And you work all night

No lunch breaks, no minimum wage, yeah
Most of the time I don't even get paid, I
Spend my lifetime slaving away for you
And if I complain they'll blame my feelings
But look at the view from my glass ceiling
Barely see that sunlight stealing through

Being a woman is a full time job
And when we stand up and protest we're called an angry mob
While another lone gunman loads up his shots

Being a woman is a full time job
Being a woman is a full time job
Being a woman is a full time job
