Being A Woman Lyrics


Lake Street Dive Being A Woman

[Verse 1]
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

[Refrain]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Refrain]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
Being a woman is a full-time job
And when we stand up in protest, we're called an angry mob
While another lone gunman loads up his shots

[Refrain]
Being a woman is a full-time job
(Being a woman is a full-time job)
Being a woman is a full-time job
