Aching

I woke up from a long day, wanting to rest my feet
Cause it's feeling sore, standing up all-day
At the cash register in the store
But I know I got more work to do
Wash the dishes, feed the kids, prepare your food
Well I wanna vacate, cause a vacation has never been a part of my day
I wanna be treated like a queen, but you look at me as your maid
I see a number that I don't recognize, on your caller ID display
Is she is or isn't she ain't your baby
Questions I get ignored, but your answer's are shady, baby

Can you tell that my soul is aching?
Can you tell that my soul is aching?
Well I'm telling you that it is
No point of verifying, cause I ain't lying
But I gotta do what I gotta do
Despite the fact that you don't want me, baby
No baby, oh baby, no baby

I'm only talking, not walking to fulfill my needs
I got others who need me to be
A caregiver, a babysitter, a role model, you see, see, see, see
I'm holding on to so much bitterness
Not shown appreciation for contributions
But that's okay because I am blessed
Otherwise, I would've died from the stress
My strength comes from a positive
Even though I'm still human from a negative
A product of evil sin
Man dominating woman to the point she don't wanna live, no, no
But what I feel is a passing cloud
Cause I got others who make me smile
Make me smile

Can you tell that my soul is aching
Can you tell that my soul is aching
Well I'm telling you that it is
No point of verifying, cause I ain't lying
But I gotta do what I gotta do
Despite the fact that you don't want me, baby
Oh baby, oh baby, no baby
Can you tell
Can you tell
My soul is aching
Can you tell
My soul is aching
