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 in the corner stands
And she wonders where she is
And it's strange to her
Some people seem to have everything
Nine AM on the hour hand
And she's waiting for the bell
And she's looking real pretty
She's 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's seen a lot of tears
Of the ones who come in
They really seem to need her there
It's a sacrifice working day to day
For little money, just tips for pay
But it's worth it all 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
Already knows she's seen her bad times
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 her money
So you better treat her right
Hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right (alright)
She works hard for the money (hard, hard, hard for the money)
So hard for it, honey (hard, hard, hard for it, honey)
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
She works hard for the money (hard, hard, hard for the money)
So hard for it, honey (hard, hard, hard for it, honey)
Works hard for the money
So you better treat her right (alright)
She works hard for the money (hard, hard, hard for the money)
So hard for it, honey (hard, hard, hard for it, honey)
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
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 in the corner stands
And she wonders where she is
And it's strange to her
Some people seem to have everything
Nine AM on the hour hand
And she's waiting for the bell
And she's looking real pretty
She's 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's seen a lot of tears
Of the ones who come in
They really seem to need her there
It's a sacrifice working day to day
For little money, just tips for pay
But it's worth it all 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
Already knows she's seen her bad times
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 her money
So you better treat her right
Hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right (alright)
She works hard for the money (hard, hard, hard for the money)
So hard for it, honey (hard, hard, hard for it, honey)
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
She works hard for the money (hard, hard, hard for the money)
So hard for it, honey (hard, hard, hard for it, honey)
Works hard for the money
So you better treat her right (alright)
She works hard for the money (hard, hard, hard for the money)
So hard for it, honey (hard, hard, hard for it, honey)
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
I feel that this song is about a stripper not a prostitute because of the line "It's a sacrifice working day to day For little money, just tips for pay But it's worth it all To hear them say that they care" because strippers get paid in dollar bill tips and the line "She'll never sell out She never will Not for a dollar bill" is her saying she wont be a prostitute.
Even though this post is from awhile back, I wanted to share what I heard Donna Summer say in an interview about this song. It's actually about a restroom attendant in a restaurant she went to. She really felt for the woman when she saw her and interpreted, in this song, what she imagined the lady's life was like.
