The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Everything She Wants" by the artist "Wham!"

Contents

In Wham!'s song "Everything She Wants", we hear the story of a man trapped by his lover's materialistic desires.

At the beginning of their relationship, the hero is blinded by love, believing his girlfriend to be perfect and willing to do anything for her. However, over time, he realizes that her happiness lies in the material wealth that he is obligated to provide.

The hero is forced to work harder and harder to satisfy his lover's growing needs. He feels used, his labor taken for granted. The news of her pregnancy comes not as a joy but as an additional burden, as he will now have to work even harder.

The lyrics express despair and disillusionment. The hero realizes that their relationship is not built on love and understanding, but on her consumerist attitude. He feels alienated in his own life, a hostage to someone else's desires.

The ending of the song leaves a feeling of hopelessness. The hero realizes that no amount of material possessions can mend their relationship, which is doomed to fail.

Somebody told me

Boy everything she wants is everything she sees

I guess I must have loved you

Because I said you were the perfect girl for me, baby

And 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

Somebody tell me

(Won't you tell me)

Why I work so hard for you

(To give you money, work 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 give and take

Well you've shown 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

But one step further and my back will break

If my best isn't good enough

Then 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

(To give you money, work 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)

(To give you money, work to give you money)

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 and out of that door

Like a stranger

For the wages

I give you all

You say you want more

And 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

Girl it's just a matter of time
