Somebody told me

That for 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 I'm six months older

And everything you are 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

Why I work so hard for you

(To give you money)

Some people work for a living

Some people work fun

Girl I just work for you

They told me marriage was a give and take

Well you show me you can take you've got some givin' to do

And now you tell me that your 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

And how can it be good enough for two

I can't work any harder than I do

Somebody tell me

Why I work so hard for you

(To give you money)

Why do I do the things I do

Can you tell my why? Yea

My god, I don't even think that I love you

Somebody tell me

Why I work so hard for you

(To give you money)

Somebody tell me

Why I work so hard for you

(To give you money)

How could you settle

For a boy like me

When 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

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 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
