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
