EVERYTHING SHE WANTS
WHAM！ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh yeah,
Work, work
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,
But now we're 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 but boy
Uh huh huh,
Oh, oh,
Uh huh huh,
Doo doo doo,
La la la la
Somebody tell me,
Won't you tell me,
Why I work so hard for you?
All to give you money
All to give you money
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, show me you can take you've got some giving to do.
And now you tell me that you're having my baby,
I'll tell you that I'm happy if you want me to
One step further and my back will break,
If my best isn't good enough
Than how can it be good enough for two?
I can't work any harder than I do
Somebody tell me,
Won't you tell me,
Why I work so hard for you?
All to give you money,
All to give you money
Oh,
Why do I do the things I do?
I'd tell you if I knew.
My God,
I don't even think that I love you,
Won't you tell me,
Tell me, tell me, tell me
How could you settle for a boy like me,
When all I could see was the end of the week
All the things we sign,
And the things we buy,
Ain't gonna keep us together,
It's just a matter of time.
My situation,
Never changes.
Walking in that manner through that door,
Like a stranger,
But the wages,
I give you all you say you want is love
And all I can see is the end of the week,
All the things we sign,
And the things we buy,
Ain't gonna keep us together
Girl, it's just a matter of time.
WHAM!’s song Everything She Wants is an exploration of the struggles within a relationship where one partner seems to have unattainable expectations. The song starts with a catchy beat and the singer describing how he once believed that his partner was the perfect girl for him. However, six months down the line, he realizes that everything she sees and wants is out of reach and not enough. He is perplexed about what she wants from him.
The song goes on to describe how he keeps working hard to give her everything she wants, including money, and neglects himself in the process. He believes that marriage should involve give and take, but he is the one who does all the giving. He is frustrated and does not know why he works so hard for someone who seems impossible to please. Later in the song, the singer confronts his partner about her pregnancy, but he still does not feel like he is meeting her expectations. He is afraid that his best is not good enough for two people, and he cannot work any harder.
The lyrics ultimately suggest that material things cannot keep a relationship together, and it is only a matter of time before reality sets in. This song provides an interesting commentary on relationships and the challenges of meeting someone's unattainable expectations.

You told me you're pregnant with my child, and I'll pretend to be happy if that's what you want to hear
If my best isn't good enough, Than how can it be good enough for two?
If everything I'm doing for you is still not enough, how can it be enough for both of us?
Why do I do the things I do? I'd tell you if I knew. My God,I don't even think that I love you
I question why I keep doing everything for you, and honestly, I'm not even sure if I love you anymore
How could you settle for a boy like me, When all I could see was the end of the week
I don't understand why you chose me, when I can barely make it to the end of the week financially

Buying things and signing contracts won't save our relationship
My situation,Never changes
I'm stuck in this situation and can't seem to change it

You come home, and it feels like you're a stranger to me, despite us being together
But the wages, I give you all you say you want is love
Despite me providing all of this for you, you still claim all you want is love
All to give you money,All to give you money
I work hard to earn money just to give it all to you
