All the working buds are craning their necks She knows they love it when she’s wearing a dress She works hard to erase the lines on her face She’s got pills to help her cope with the stress.
All the office guys are scratching their heads She won’t take any of them home to bed After she’s had her fill she hands them the bill And then laughs on the phone with her friends
