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 oh
Uh huh huh
Oh, oh
Uh huh huh
Doo doo doo
La la la la la
Uh huh huh
Oh, oh
Uh huh huh
Doo doo doo
La la la la la
Somebody tell me, oh
Won't you tell me
Why I work so hard for you?
Give you money
All 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 a give-and-take
Well, show me you can take you've got some giving to do
And now you tell me that you're 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?
Uh huh huh
Oh, oh
Uh huh huh
Doo doo doo
I can't work any harder than I do
La la la la la
Uh huh huh
Oh, oh
Uh huh huh
Doo doo doo
La la la la la
Somebody tell me
Won't you tell me
Why I work so hard for you?
Give you money
All to give you money
Oh
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...?
Give you money
All to give you money, oh
Ah, oh, yeah
Tell me
Tell me
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
Girl, it's just a matter of time
Work, work
Work, work
La la la la la
Just a matter of time
Uh huh huh
Oh, oh
Uh huh huh
Doo doo doo
La la la la la
Somebody tell me
Won't you tell me (somebody)
Why I work so hard for you?
Give you money
All to give you money
Oh
Somebody tell me
Won't you tell me
Why I work so hard for you?
Give you money
All to give you money, oh
La la la la la
Somebody tell me
Won't you tell me
Why I do the things that I do?
