i don't know what you're looking for
but it's a waste of time
i can't take it anymore
not a second time

girl you've got to stand up
and tell me what i'm doing wrong
i say you've got to stand up
and tell me what i'm doing wrong

baby can you hear me
i can't reach your mind
i want you near me baby all the time
it should be easy
well, it never is with you, baby

i don't know what you're looking for
but it's a waste of time
love comes easy when you're young
and life has just begun

girl you've got to stand up
and tell me what i'm doing wrong
i say you've got to stand up
and tell me what i'm doing wrong

baby can you hear me
i can't reach your mind
i want you near me baby, all the time
it should be easy
well, it never is with you
maybe if you show me, teach me how it's done
i want to know you, feel you, be the one
it should be easy
well, it never is with you, baby

you've got to stand up
and tell me what i'm doing wrong
i say you've got to stand up
and tell me what i'm doing wrong
so baby can you hear me
i can't reach your mind
i want you near me baby, all the time
it should be easy
well, it never is with you

maybe if you show me, teach me how it's done
i want to know you, feel you, be the one
it should be easy
well, it never is with you, baby
