Kelly Clarkson, Dolly Parton - 9 to 5 lyrics

[Kelly Clarkson, Dolly Parton - 9 to 5 lyrics]

Tumble out of bed and I
Stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and
The blood starts pumpin'
Out on the street, the traffic's jumpin'
With folks like me on the
Job from nine to five

Workin' nine to five
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and
They never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
Workin' nine to five for service and devotion
You would think that I would
Deserve a fat promotion want to move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me

Nine to five workin', workin', workin'

They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
But you got dreams he'll never take away
You're in the same boat with
A lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
And then the tide's gonna turn and
It's all gonna roll your way

Workin' nine to five
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and
They never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
Workin' nine to five, yeah
They got you where they want you
There's a better life and you dream about it
Don't you? It's a rich man's game no
Matter what they call it
And you spend your life puttin'
Money in his wallet workin' nine to five
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
Workin' nine to five workin' nine to five
It's a rich man's game no
Matter what they call it
And you spend your life puttin'
Money in his wallet

Just workin', workin', workin'
Just workin', workin', workin'
And you think about it, don't you?
Yeah, you think about it, don't you?
