Uh huh huh
Oh yeah!
Do you work, 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, boy.

Uh, huh, huh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Uh huh huh
Doo doo doo
La la la la (2×).

Somebody tell me
Won't you tell me
Why I work so hard for you? 
All to give you money (2×).

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 a 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.

Somebody tell me
Won't you tell me
Why I work so hard for you? 
All to give you money (2×).

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
Tell me, 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 that manner through that door
Like a stranger
But the wages.

I give you all you say you want is love
And all I can see is 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.
