He works late at night.
Yeah right, that's what he says.
At 12:00 I'm still alone here in my bed.
And sometimes I wish that one of us were dead.
This is not the man for me.
Working 8 to 5 inside this office shell.
Just like I'm back in school and waiting for that bell.
I look around and see no one else in my hell.
This is not the job for me.

Chorus
And oh you would never know
if you walked through my door
that I've been suffering
and I don't know how to leave.
Take me away from here.
Take me away.
This is not the life for me.

My kids come home from school
and they just scream at me.
I'm not their mom but something evil that they see.
I don't know why all their hate is blamed on me.
These are not the kids for me.
My parents call and they say you've ruined your life.
Just what I need, someone to throw in another knife.
Don't they know that I can't take one more night.
This is not the life for me.

Chorus
