[Verse 1]
Somebody told me
"Boy, everything she wants is everything she sees"
Guess 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Ah-ha
La-la-la-la-la
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Ah-ha
La-la-la-la-la

[Chorus]
Somebody tell me, oh
Why I work so hard for you
To give you money

[Verse 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, you've shown me you can take
You've got some giving to do
And now you tell me that you're having my baby
I'II 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
Then how can it be good enough for two?
I can't work any harder than I do
[Chorus]
Somebody tell me, oh
Why work so hard for you
Oh, to give you money
Somebody tell me
Won't you tell me?
Why I work so hard for you

[Outro]
Is it desire?
Or is it love that I'm feeling for you?
Want desire
But your love only gets me abused
Somebody tell me
Is it love that I'm feeling for you?
Somebody tell me
'Cause your love only gets me abused
