There are seven sleepy pairs of eyes
Waiting for me at my table
I must go and give their day a smile
No cup of coffee I have met
Could ever get me through this day
And without you I can do nothing
Oh, but with you I can do anything
I am a clanging, nagging noise
Oh, but with you I'll raise
There is a house that's really not so small
There is a phone, it's ringing off the wall
I feel my limits getting nearer
And there's no smart woman on TV
Who looks a thing like me
And so I know that without
Oh, but with you I can do anything
I am a clanging, nagging noise
Oh, but with you I'll raise
Toys on the floor, blood on the knees
A first step, a first uniform
I am a woman staring at the sink,
I cannot think or understand.
And now the days slip through my hands
Oh please, grant me a new start
With a fresh and fervent heart
Help me, I know that without
Oh, but with you I can do anything
I am a clanging, nagging noise
Oh, but with you I'll raise
Oh yes, with you I'll raise
