Uh, huh, huh Oh, yeah Work, work
Somebody told me "Boy, everything she wants is everything she sees" I guess I must have loved you 'Cause, I said you were the perfect girl for me, maybe But, 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, but, boy
Uh, huh, huh Oh, oh Uh, huh, huh Do, do, do La, la, la, la Uh, huh, huh Oh, oh Uh, huh, huh Do, do, do La, la, la, la
Somebody tell me Won't you tell me Why I work so hard for you All to give you money All 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, show 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 Uh, huh, huh Oh, oh Uh, huh, huh Do, do, do
I can't work any harder than I do La, la, la, la Uh, huh, huh Oh, oh Uh, huh, huh Do, do, do La, la, la, la
Somebody tell me Won't you tell me Why I work so hard for you All to give you money All to give you money
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 To give you money, oh To give you money
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 signed And the things we buy Ain't gonna keep us together It's just a matter of time
Somebody tell me Won't you tell me Why I work so hard for you All to give you money All to give you money (to give you money)
