Karaoké Maybe She's Human Kathy Mattea

She gets up an hour before she really wants to

Gets a half day's work done before the day begins

She makes a list of everything that everybody needs from her

And all that she did yesterday today she'll do again

She goes off to her job the school the bank and then the store

Then you're surprised 'cos she broke down as you walked in the door

Maybe she's human maybe she's got troubles too

Maybe she could stand to get away

Maybe she needs something new

Or maybe all she needs is someone just to see her

Point of view

Maybe that's you

After working late today she brings in bags of groceries

Bandages a skinned-up knee as the chicken starts to fry

She drops a glass the baby cries

The phone rings that's when you walk in

Unloading all your problems and the worries on your mind

When you mention it's your boys' night out she tears you into shreds

And you just can't quite figure out why she gets all upset

Maybe she's human maybe she's got troubles too

Maybe she could stand to get away

Maybe she needs something new

Or maybe all she needs is someone just to see her

Point of view

Maybe that's you
