She works hard for the money, So hard for it, honey. She works hard for the money, So you better treat her right. She works hard for the money, So hard for it, honey. She works hard for the money, So you better treat her right. Onetta there in the corner stand And wonders where she is. And it's strange to her some people seem to have everything. 9 a.m. on the hour hand And she's waiting for the bell. And she's looking real pretty just waiting for her clientele. She works hard for the money, So hard for it, honey. She works hard for the money, So you better treat her right. She works hard for the money, So hard for it, honey. She works hard for the money, So you better treat her right. Twenty-eight years have come and gone And she's seen a lot of tears. Of the ones who come in, They seem to really need her here. It's a sacrifice working day to day For little money, just tips for pay. But it's worth it all just to hear them say that they care. She works hard for the money, So hard for it, honey. She works hard for the money, So you better treat her right. She already knows she's seen her bad times. She already knows these are the good times. She'll never sell out. She'll never will, not for a dollar bill. She works hard. (Saxophone solo) (Guitar solo) She works hard for the money, So hard for it, honey. She works hard for the money, So you better treat her right. She works hard for the money, So hard for it, honey. She works hard for the money, So you better treat her right. Alright. She works hard for the money, (Hard, hard for the money.) So hard for it, honey. (Hard, hard for it, honey.) She works hard for the money, So you better treat her right. She works hard for the money... (Hard, hard for the money.)
