Born With a Job Lyrics

I was born with a job to do

I was born for looking out and cleaning up after you

But a house just ain't a home when you're working the room

Trying to keep from backsliding into shades of blue

Well I was born in the city

But I raised myself

Life was simple enough

But it was hard as hell

I remember standing there hoping you might look up

Maybe make me some breakfast

Maybe give me a hug

How long do you need me to

Do you need me to

Do this for you

You seem to see the past in a rosy haze

When it wasn't a man it was a toxic phase

At least we can agree it doesn't matter now

Doesn't matter how we end up in the here and now

Married the first man who gave you a second look

That is until I came along and he jumped the hook

You said you'd always be his girl

You were so ride or die

So now why can't you be there for your baby when she cries

I was born with a job to do

Getting by and making due

How long do you need me to

Do you need me to

Do this for you

How long

Do you need me to

Do you need me to

Do this for you
