you say you know me
but i see only what you're paid to show me. oh
i wish you had the time

i understand you
i know you need to move in other circles too;
it's tough for me
it's tough for you. roberta
how i've adored you
i'd ask you over but i can't afford you. oh
i wish you'd take the time

the night goes slowly
i know you're workin' but you must get lonely too;
it's tough for me
it's tough for you. and i'm in a bad way and wanna make love to you
oo
oo. oh
i wish you had the time
oh
i wish you had the time. roberta
i really need you
but i suppose that my small change won't see you through;
it's tough for me
it's tough for you.
