Eight To The Gate Lyrics

Ooh, baby, you don't understand

Ooh, you don't understand

After all that we've been through

Girl, I still got you

Eight to the gate, did you break, workin' late

A nine to five, with some overtime

Sold a corporate lie, sold a corporate lie

Eight to the gate, don't be late

While the baby's cryin

Time to say goodbye, to get by

They say that's life

What it is, what it is, what it shouldn't be

Well, they say that's life

What it is, what it is, what it shouldn't be

Mama's tired eyes, she didn't get no sleep

To put food on the table, something to eat

To get by, to get by

They say that's life

What it is, what it is, what it shouldn't be

Well, they say that's life

What it is, what it is, what it shouldn't be

Ooh, baby, you don't understand

Ooh, you don't understand

After all that we've been through

Girl, I still got you

Eight to the gate, did you break, workin' late

A nine to five, with some overtime

Sold a corporate lie, sold a corporate lie

Eight to the gate, don't be late

While the baby's cryin

Time to say goodbye, to get by

Daddy's tired eyes, he didn't get no sleep

To put a roof on my head, give me place to sleep

To get by, to get by

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Eight to the gate, did you break, workin' late

A nine to five, with some overtime

Sold a corporate lie, oh

If you only understood, it was for your own good

Yeah
