Roberta Lyrics

BILLY JOEL - ROBERTA

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, 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.
