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 on the corner stands and she wonders where she is
And it seems to her some people seem to have everything
Nine 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 seen a lot of tears
All the ones who come in, they really seem to need her bad.
It�s a sacrifice workin� day to day, what 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 works hard for the money, so hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money, so you better treat her right

Already know she�s seen the bad life
Already knows these are the good times
She�ll never sell out, she never will, not for a dollar bill
She works hard.....

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
