Lyrics

8 Hour Days

[Verse 1] Beauty is everything But no man will ever know what that means Only the woman who's holding his hand Will ever know the pit that grows inside of that man [Pre-Chorus] He likes his clothes black, dinner packed, eight hour days and nights away from her Same place, saving face for him [Chorus] I feel like a preacher's wife Slaving every day and night Making sure that he looks nice For his children that I don't share [Post-Chorus] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no No-oh [Verse 2] Beauty is everything Even when it takes the piss from me Even when he takes what he thinks is his inside me I am beautiful and I am free I am free [Chorus] I feel like a preacher's wife Crying waiting up all night But I'll carry him and Jesus Christ As long as he comes home to me (Home)
