Yeah
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
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, oh
(Chorus)
Everything she wants
Everything she needs
(It's just a matter of time)
Everything she wants
Everything she needs
(It's just a matter of time...)
Somebody tell me, Oh
(Won't you tell me)
Why I work so hard for you?
(To give you money, all to give you money)
It's everything that she needs...
It's everything that she wants...
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
How can it be good enough for two?
(Chorus)
Whoa now baby
It's everything you want
Everything that you need
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
Girl, it's just a matter of time
My situation, never changes
Walking in , and out of that door
Yeah. Like a stranger, but with wages
I give you all, you say you want more
And all I could see was the end of the week
All the things that we sign
And the things that we buy
Ain't gonna keep us together
Girl, it's just a matter of time
(Chorus)
Somebody...
Somebody...
Tell me why, tell me why
(It's just a matter of time...)
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
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, oh
(Chorus)
Everything she wants
Everything she needs
(It's just a matter of time)
Everything she wants
Everything she needs
(It's just a matter of time...)
Somebody tell me, Oh
(Won't you tell me)
Why I work so hard for you?
(To give you money, all to give you money)
It's everything that she needs...
It's everything that she wants...
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

(Chorus)
Somebody...
Somebody...
Tell me why, tell me why
(It's just a matter of time...)
