Josienne Clarke - Workhorse

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1982607
I think it was a Tuesday
It was dark
There was something that I needed
But I couldn’t ask

Cos I don’t know how to love me
The way that I should
But lately I’ve been learning
I don’t have to be good

I don’t have to earn
I can be
I’m not your workhorse
Or your busy bee
And I won’t be your cash cow
Now I will be the one
If I’m making money
Then I want some

I think it was the lying
And how it felt
I tired of the standards
Applied to nobody else

I am going to love me
The way that you should
Lately I’ve been learning
That I could
I don't have to earn it
I can be
I don't have to give you things
You don't givе me
I don't have to carry evеryone
If I'm going to give love
Then I want some

I think it was a Tuesday
It was dark
If there's something that I need now
I will ask
