Eight To the Gate
Ooh, baby, you don't understand
Ooh, you don't understand
After all that we've been through
Girl, I still got you
Eight to the gate, did you break, workin' late
A nine to five, with some overtime
Sold a corporate lie, sold a corporate lie
Eight to the gate, don't be late
While the baby's cryin
Time to say goodbye, to get by
They say that's life
What it is, what it is, what it shouldn't be
Well, they say that's life
What it is, what it is, what it shouldn't be
Mama's tired eyes, she didn't get no sleep
To put food on the table, something to eat
To get by, to get by
They say that's life
What it is, what it is, what it shouldn't be
Well, they say that's life
What it is, what it is, what it shouldn't be
Ooh, baby, you don't understand
Ooh, you don't understand
After all that we've been through
Girl, I still got you
Eight to the gate, did you break, workin' late
A nine to five, with some overtime
Sold a corporate lie, sold a corporate lie
Eight to the gate, don't be late
While the baby's cryin
Time to say goodbye, to get by
Daddy's tired eyes, he didn't get no sleep
To put a roof on my head, give me place to sleep
To get by, to get by
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Eight to the gate, did you break, workin' late
A nine to five, with some overtime
Sold a corporate lie, oh
If you only understood, it was for your own good
Yeah
Ooh, you don't understand
After all that we've been through
Girl, I still got you
Eight to the gate, did you break, workin' late
A nine to five, with some overtime
Sold a corporate lie, sold a corporate lie
Eight to the gate, don't be late
While the baby's cryin
Time to say goodbye, to get by
They say that's life
What it is, what it is, what it shouldn't be
Well, they say that's life
What it is, what it is, what it shouldn't be
Mama's tired eyes, she didn't get no sleep
To put food on the table, something to eat
To get by, to get by
They say that's life
What it is, what it is, what it shouldn't be
Well, they say that's life
What it is, what it is, what it shouldn't be
Ooh, baby, you don't understand
Ooh, you don't understand
After all that we've been through
Girl, I still got you
Eight to the gate, did you break, workin' late
A nine to five, with some overtime
Sold a corporate lie, sold a corporate lie
Eight to the gate, don't be late
While the baby's cryin
Time to say goodbye, to get by
Daddy's tired eyes, he didn't get no sleep
To put a roof on my head, give me place to sleep
To get by, to get by
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Eight to the gate, did you break, workin' late
A nine to five, with some overtime
Sold a corporate lie, oh
If you only understood, it was for your own good
Yeah
