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



chorus:



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 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 than how can it

be good enough for two?

I can't work any harder than I do



chorus



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



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

Walkin 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
