<P> Co-written with Omartian, told a story of a hard working blue collar woman . It was based on an actual encounter that Summer had with an exhausted rest room attendant named Onetta Johnson (at the iconic Los Angeles restaurant Chasen's), who was later mentioned in the song and featured on the album's back cover . </P> <P> According to MusicNotes.com, the song is performed in the key of G ♯ minor in common time with a tempo of 136 beats per minute . Summer's vocals span from G ♯ to D ♯ . </P> <P> The music video for the song, directed by Brian Grant, debuted on MTV and became the first video by an African American female artist to be placed in "heavy rotation" (a term used by MTV at the time to indicate a frequently - aired video). The video shows a woman, working as a waitress in a diner, who is burdened with many situations in her life such as work and raising two unruly children . It is also seen that she has abandoned her hopes of being a ballerina . Summer appears as an observer through a kitchen window, a woman who assists the fallen - down protagonist of the video, and, at the end, a leader of a troupe of women, in various work uniforms, who have taken to the streets to signify their independence and gain recognition for their "hard work". The protagonist is also seen dancing in the street with them . </P> <P> In a parody of the image created by this song, and its cover art picture, Summer herself appears in the Frank Sinatra video for "L.A. Is My Lady", released in 1984, as a waitress who serves a patron and then wipes her brow . </P>
