Somebody told me Boy everything she wants is everything she sees I guess I must have loved you Because I said you were the perfect girl for me, baby
And now we're six months older And everything you want and everything you see Is out of reach not good enough I don't know what the hell you want from me
Somebody tell me (won't you tell me) Why I work so hard for you (To give you money, work to give you money)
Some people work for a living Some people work for fun Girl I just work for you They told me marriage was give and take Well you've shown me you can take You've got some giving to do And now you tell me that your having my baby I'll tell you that I'm happy if you want me to But one step further and my back will break If my best isn't good enough Then how can it be good enough for two
I can't work any harder than I do
Somebody tell me (won't you tell me) Why I work so hard for you (To give you money, work to give you money)
Oh why do I do the things I do I'd tell you if I knew My God, I don't even think that I love you
(Won't you tell me) (To give you money, work to give you money)
How could you settle For a boy like me When all I could see Was the end of the week All the things we sign And the things we buy Ain't gonna keep us together It's just a matter of time
My situation Never changes Walking in and out of that door Like a stranger For the wages I give you all You say you want more
And all I could see Was the end of the week All the things we sign And the things we buy Ain't gonna keep us together
