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
