Looking for the Time (Workin’ Girl) Songtext
Well, I work this corner from eleven to five
The hands get cold around midnight
You′re askin' me if I′ve got the time... well I don't know
But you're wastin′ mine tonight
[Chorus:]
Whoa... you say you′re looking for the time
Well, I'm a workin′ girl... you just wasted mine
If you ain't got money... take it down the avenue
′Cuz I ain't got time for you... until daylight
This sidewalk ice is cold as steel...
I′m not Dorothy... I can't click my heels
One of these days I'll move to L.A.
Where the nights stay warm and the boys come out to play
[Chorus]
Don′t the snow light up the midnight sky
The snow plows roll and the limos fly
Don′t cha know it's just another night
Oh, once I had a lover who treated me right
He lived so wrong he′s doin' ninety-nine
Oh, I wish you had the money and I had the time
′Cuz I'd just let those limos slide on by
[Chorus 2x]
The hands get cold around midnight
You′re askin' me if I′ve got the time... well I don't know
But you're wastin′ mine tonight
[Chorus:]
Whoa... you say you′re looking for the time
Well, I'm a workin′ girl... you just wasted mine
If you ain't got money... take it down the avenue
′Cuz I ain't got time for you... until daylight
This sidewalk ice is cold as steel...
I′m not Dorothy... I can't click my heels
One of these days I'll move to L.A.
Where the nights stay warm and the boys come out to play
[Chorus]
Don′t the snow light up the midnight sky
The snow plows roll and the limos fly
Don′t cha know it's just another night
Oh, once I had a lover who treated me right
He lived so wrong he′s doin' ninety-nine
Oh, I wish you had the money and I had the time
′Cuz I'd just let those limos slide on by
[Chorus 2x]
