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 everything 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 to Maybe she could stand to get away Maybe she needs something new Or maybe all she needs to someone Just to see her point of view... Maybe that's you After working 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 unloading 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 all upset Maybe she's human Maybe she's got troubles to Maybe she could stand to get away Maybe she needs something new Or maybe all she needs to someone Just to see her point of view... Maybe that's you
