She gets up an hour
before she really wants to
Gets a half day's work done
before the day begins
She makes a list of everythin'
that everybody needs from her
And all that she did yesterday
Today she'll do again
She goes off to her job
The school
The bank
and then the store
Then you're surprised
'cause she broke down
As you walked in the door
Maybe she's human
Maybe she's got troubles too
Maybe she could
stand to get away
Maybe she needs
somethin' new
Or maybe all she needs
is someone
just to see her point of view
Maybe that's you
After workin' late today
she brings in bags
of groceries
Bandages a skinned-up knee
As the chicken starts to fry
She drops a glass
The baby cries
The phone rings
That's when you walk in
Unloadin' all your problems
And the worries on your mind
When you mention
it's your boys' night out
She tears you into shreds
And you just can't
quite figure out
why she gets so upset
Maybe she's human
Maybe she's got troubles too
Maybe she could
stand to get away
Maybe she needs
somethin' new
Or maybe all she needs
is someone
just to see her point of view
Maybe that's you
