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-oh- 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-oooo-oo-oo-oo
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
And I'm in a bad way and wanna make love to
you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, I wish you had the time
Oh, I wish you had the time, oh.oh
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
