Martha in the mornin
Oprah in the afternoon
weddings in the garded
have a makeover too
watchin TV on a sick day
tell me "What's it mean to you?"

CHORUS:
They think I'm out of touch
but they don't know much
about my world
Got a wing and a prayer
and a job on the line
and there ain't no time
for a workin girl

Well, they say they represent me
in the fashion magazines
Well, honey all I see
is these girls don't look like me

Tell me "What's it like to be rich. . .
and barely seventeen?"

REPEAT CHORUS

Starry nights on the beach
for worlds within my reach
but they don't take american express

REPEAT CHORUS

A workin girl

Got a wing and a prayer
and a boss and a job on the line
a workin girl

I'm a workin girl
