Maybe She's Human Lyrics - Kathy Mattea

(Kent Robbins/Layng Martine, Jr) 

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 'cause she broke down as you walked in the door 

Maybe she's human 

Maybe she's got troubles to 

Maybe she could stand to get away 

Maybe she needs something new 

Or maybe all she needs to 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 to 

Maybe she could stand to get away 

Maybe she needs something new 

Or maybe all she needs to someone 

Just to see her point of view... 

Maybe that's you
