Roberta, you say you know me
But I see only what you`re paid to show me
Oh, I wish you had the time
Oh, I wish you had the time
Oh, Roberta, 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
Oh, I wish you`d take the time
Oh, Roberta, the night goes slowly
I know you`re workin` but you must get lonely too;
It`s tough for me, ah, it`s tough for you
And I`m in a bad way and wanna make love to you, ooh, ooh
Oh, I wish you had the time
Oh, I wish you had the time
Oh, Roberta, I really need you
But I suppose that my small change won`t see you through;
It`s tough for me, ah, it`s tough for you
