Tired in the Salon

Standing by these chairs
Styling all day long
Our backs are aching
Our feet feel so wrong
Strutting in our heels
Trying to look glam
But underneath it all
We're just human

Shampooing and blow-drying
It's a daily grind
Whispering secrets while snipping
shampoo is fine
But we can't deny the pain that we feel
These long shifts make it unreal

Hairdos that shine as bright as the sun
But these heels don't let you run
A quick cut here
A curling iron there
But deep down inside
We're feeling the wear

Shampooing and blow-drying
It's a daily grind
Whispering secrets while snipping
talking we seem fine
But we can't deny the pain that we feel
These long shifts make it unreal

Standing by these chairs
Styling all day long
Our backs are aching
Our feet feel so wrong
Strutting in our heels
Trying to look glam
But underneath it all
We're just human
