Valeree - Broke Lyrics

I’m 19 and living in my Mazda from ‘98
Prayin’ it don’t break down, can’t afford to fix the brakes
One hour in between my shifts to make it across town
With my fingers and my toes crossed that my gas tank don’t run out

Oh, I don’t need a fortune, I don’t need to be rich to sleep well at night
But oh, wouldn’t it be nice to work to live instead of just survive?

Whoa, what’s a girl gotta do stay afloat?
No, no matter how hard I work, I just keep on being broke

21 working 12 hour shifts 7 days a week
Every dollar straight to rent on a place I only use to sleep
Feel a cough coming on that I know I can't afford
Too poor to pay out of pocket, to poor to be insured

Oh, I don’t need a fortune, I don’t need to be rich to sleep well at night
But oh, wouldn’t it be nice to work to live instead of just survive?

Whoa, what’s a girl gotta do stay afloat?
No, no matter how hard I work, I just keep on being broke
Whoa, what’s a girl gotta do stay afloat?
No, no matter how hard I work, I just keep on being broke

When I get so tired and think I’m running out of steam
I tell myself at least they say the best things in life are free, but

Oh, I don’t need a fortune, I don’t need to be rich to sleep well at night
But oh, wouldn’t it be nice to work to live instead of just survive?

Whoa, what’s a girl gotta do stay afloat?
No, no matter how hard I work, I just keep on being broke
Whoa, what’s a girl gotta do stay afloat?
No, no matter how hard I work, I just keep on being broke
