Greasy Spoon

Sickly sweet, candied meat

In a fragrant, greasy spoon

Knock back black coffee

Work until the afternoon

She hardly sleeps

She hardly eats

She hardly breathes

When you're in her breathin' space

Cat-callin', white van patrollin'

The streets as she walks from work

Rip hard and jeer from afar

As he sits with a droolin' smirk

She hardly sleeps

She hardly eats

She hardly breathes

When you're in her breathin' space

She brushes it off

Like she always does

Drops through the subway

Disappears with the flood

I am a woman

And I am a woman

I am a woman

I am a woman

She comes home, I hear her moan

The walls are paper thin

His friends come round, they pass her round

Her head goes round the bend

She hardly sleeps

She hardly eats

She hardly breathes

When you're in her breathin' space

She brushes it off

Like she always does

Puts on her makeup

Faces the day

And she hardly sleeps

She hardly eats

She hardly breathes

When you're in her breathin' space

I am a woman

And I am a woman

And I am a woman

And I am a woman

And I am your mother

I am your sister

And I am your daughter

I am a woman
