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, ah-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
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
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
