I Wanna Work For You
Lyrics and music by Alexa Weber Morales © 2010 (BMI)

I wanna know where the meeting is
Take me to your leader
I’ll tell her everything she wants to hear
I’ll make the coffee sweeter

Ain’t nobody else who can do the job I do
I wanna wear a suit, I wanna work for you

My resume never used to fail
Now every door is slammed harder
I guess you think I know too much
But hey, I’ll make you look smarter

Ain’t nobody else who can do the job I do
I wanna wear a suit, I wanna work for you
Ain’t nobody else who can do the job I do
I wanna wear a suit, I wanna work for you

I used to watch the sailboats on my lunch break
I used to wonder if someday I’d catch my wave
But everyone was right and I was so wrong
Who was I to think that you would buy this song?

I got laid off and I became a troubadour
I sang with the baby on my hip
Please take me back, put me behind the Levolors
I can’t buy breakfast with my wit

Won’t you allow me to do your PowerPoint
I’m quite happy flying coach
I’ll bring you 8 am Croissanwiches
I’ll stay late without reproach

Ain’t nobody else who can do the job I do
I wanna wear a suit, I wanna work for you

Ain’t nobody else who can do the job I do
I wanna be a suit, I wanna work for you

Ain’t nobody else who can do the job I do
I wanna count your beans, I wanna work for you
