Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This next track is the one Wham! track of the evening
I think most people would guess which Wham! track I would play
So, uh, here it comes (One, two, three)
[Verse 2]
Yeah
Let's see your hands, come on
I'm doing all the work
[Verse 3]
Somebody told me
Boy, everything she wants, is everything she sees
I guess I must have loved you
'Cause I said you were the perfect girl for me, baby
And now it's six months older
And everything you want, and everything you see
Is out of reach, not good enough
I don't know what the hell you want from me, oh
[Verse 4]
Everything she wants
Everything she needs
It's just a matter of time
I said everything she wants
Everything she needs
It's just a matter of time
[Verse 5]
Somebody tell me
(Won't you tell me?)
Why I work so hard for you?
(To give you money, oh, to give you money)
[Verse 6]
'Cause everything that she needs
Is everything that she wants
[Verse 7]
Some people work for a living
Some people work for fun
Girl, I just work for you
They told me marriage was a give and take
Well, you show me you can take
You've got some giving to do, do
[Verse 8]
And now you tell me that you're having my baby
I'll tell you that I'm happy if you want me to
But one step further and my back will break
If my best isn't good enough
How can it be good enough for two?
[Verse 9]
(Everything she wants)
(Everything she needs)
It's just a matter of time
I said everything she wants
Everything she needs
It's just a matter of time
[Verse 10]
Somebody tell me
(Won't you tell me?)
Why I work so hard for you?
(To give you money, oh, to give you money)
[Verse 11]
Oh, now, baby
It's everything you want
Everything that you need
[Verse 12]
How could you settle for a boy like me
When all I could see was the end of the week?
All the things that we sign
The things that we buy
Ain't gonna keep us together
Girl, it's just a matter of time
[Verse 13]
My situation never changes
Walking in and out of that door
Yeah, like a stranger, but with wages
I give you all, you say you want more
[Verse 14]
And all I can see was the end of the week
All the things that we sign
The things that we buy
Ain't gonna keep us together
Girl, it's just a matter of time
[Verse 15]
(Everything she wants)
(Everything she needs)
It's just a matter of time
I tell ya, everything she wants
Is everything she needs
It's just a matter of time
[Verse 16]
Somebody (Everything she wants)
Somebody (Everything she needs)
Tell me why, tell me why (It's just a matter of time)
Tell me, somebody (Everything she wants)
Somebody (Everything she needs)
Tell me why (It's just a matter of)
I said time
