Roberta Lyrics
Roberta, you say you know 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;

Oh, I wish you'd take the time

It's tough for me, ah, it's tough for you
And I'm in a bad way and wanna make love to you
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
