But it's worth it all
She works hard for the money
So hard, hard, hard for it honey
She never will
Twenty eight years have come and gone
So you better treat her right
So you better treat her right
Some people seem to have everything
She works hard for the money
Of the ones who come in
She works hard for the money
She works hard for the money
Already knows
It's strange to her
They really seem to need her there
She works hard, hard, hard for the money
These are the good times
She works hard for the money
Already knows
So hard for it, honey
So you better treat her right
And she's waiting for her bell
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
And she's looking real pretty
Just wait for her clientele
So you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
Not for a dollar bill
Onetta, there in the corner stand
And she' seen a lot of tears
It's a sacrifice working day to day
So hard for it, honey
Nine a. m. on the hour hand
Hard for the money
She works hard for the money
She'll never sell out
She works hard
So you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
So hard for it, honey
And she wonders where she is and
So hard for it, honey
Just to hear them say that they care
She works hard for the money
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
So you better treat her right
For little money just tips for pay
She's seen her bad times
