10CC LYRICS - Working Girls

"Working Girls"



Working girls don't stand a chance

Typing pools are full deadly fish

Office Romeos believe

Dictation is the statutory dish



Do they want you for your body

When you wanna use your mind

Every day it's hustle hustle

But you're not the pushy kind



You worry and wonder when he calls you at five

You've got to work late will you get out alive

You know what he's after it's always the same

And soon you'll be playing the cat and mouse game



Working girls they dress to kill

Posing for some glossy magazine

You know the flashman wants an exposure

But your momma says you gotta keep it clean



Still you're selling with your body

And the camera never lies

Every shot is more revealing

As your inhibitions die



He asks you to stay but you want to decline

He leers as he opens another bottle of wine

Don't want to offend him your ticket to fame

So you play by the rules

It's a cat and mouse game



Working girls are lost in dreams

Buried in a paperback romance

Why don't you wake up to reality

And watch those fingers at the office dance



When you're struggling with your figures

Is he studying your form?

There's a silence in the boardroom

It's the calm before the storm



You wanna go home it's been a long day

The streets are so crowded and you must get away

You'll be back tomorrow

He'll call out your name

It's business as usual

The cat and mouse game



Working girls

Working girls
