Woman's Work Lyrics

Cover art for Woman's Work lyrics by Tracy Chapman

A woman get's up in the morning and works all day, every day, with no support. I can only imagine this woman taking care of the kids, cooking, cleaning, shopping, and a million other things - with absolutely no help. The song never says if she has employment or not, however it really doesn't matter. She works her butt off every day yet is not appreciated. There is a warning that she had better slow down before she crashes... yet there is no way she can slow down. She has too much to do and no support. Presumably the ctcle continues til she crashes.
