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
