Lyrics

Something's got to give
I'm working hard just to make time
Girl I wanna live
Not just stand on the sidelines
Something's going on
When we exist just to get by
But can we pay the rent
When our cash is spent
And there's babies on standby
Something's got to change
From this succession of false starts
Too much to arrange
Are we conspiring to lose heart?
Girl you know it's true
I'm working hard to persuade you
To break out of these cells
Run off to somewhere else
If it all overtakes you
I've bent over backwards just for you
To be optimistic
Moved over sideways far too soon
To be your statistic
I've seen what we're trying for
But we're not supposed to break out of this world
There is a space where we're not supposed to go
Something's in the way
But you came to my rescue
'Cause girl I wanna play
Not just stand in the dole queue
Another hit and run
But the remains of a good one
Forever on the take
For a lucky break
And the dawn of the new sun
I've bent over backwards just for you
To be optimistic
Moved over sideways far too soon
To be your statistic
I've seen what we're trying for
But we're not supposed to break out of this world
There is a space where we're not supposed to go
