Oh-oh, yeah / ’Til you work
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 / 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 a give-and-take / Well, you’ve shown 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? / I can’t work any harder than I do
Somebody tell me / Won’t you tell me? / Why I work so hard for you / Give you money, work to give you money
Why do I do the things I do? Tell you if I knew / My God, I don’t even think that I love you / Won’t you tell me? / Give you money, work to give you money
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…
Somebody tell me / Won’t you tell me? Somebody… / Why I work so hard for you / Give you money, work to give you money
Somebody tell me / Won’t you tell me? / Why I work so hard for you / Give you money, work to give you money / Somebody tell me / Won’t you tell me? Oh, please tell me…
