The Way The World Works
Gimme just a little breakAin't no more that I can takeI am asking for the planets to align
Calling on the universeMaybe once, just put me firstGimme what I need or give a little sign
Nothing plays out like it shouldAnd nothing does me any good'Cause I'm missing you, it's making me cry
Ooh, I know it's turningInside I'm burning...
I'm so tired of the way the world worksI'm so tired of the way the world worksThey conspire trying to keep this apart
Nothing ventured, nothing gainedI don't mind a little painBut enough's enough
But does the heart grow fonder?Will I wait here on ya?Baby, how much longer?
Ooh, I know it's turningAll I am learning is...
I'm so tired of the way the world worksI'm so tired of the way the world worksThey conspire trying to keep this apart
There's so much in life that's undecidedThere's so much to avoid, let's not invite itAnd only so much you can control
What are the voices that try and tease usI wish the voices would just release usI haven't seen you in forever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, baby
(Hey, hey, gimme just a little break, hey, hey, ain't no more that I can take, hey, hey)
They're trying to keep us apart
I'm so tired of the way the world worksI'm so tired of the way the world worksThey conspire trying to keep this apart
I'm so tired of the way the world worksI'm so tired of the way the world worksThey conspire trying to keep this apart
