The Way The World Works

Gimme just a little break Ain't no more that I can take I am asking for the planets to align Calling on the universe Maybe once, just put me first Gimme what I need or give a little sign Nothing plays out like it should And nothing does me any good 'Cause I'm missing you, it's making me cry Ooh, I know it's turning Inside I'm burning... I'm so tired of the way the world works I'm so tired of the way the world works They conspire trying to keep this apart Nothing ventured, nothing gained I don't mind a little pain But enough's enough But does the heart grow fonder? Will I wait here on ya? Baby, how much longer? Ooh, I know it's turning All I am learning is... I'm so tired of the way the world works I'm so tired of the way the world works They conspire trying to keep this apart There's so much in life that's undecided There's so much to avoid, let's not invite it And only so much you can control What are the voices that try and tease us I wish the voices would just release us I 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 works I'm so tired of the way the world works They conspire trying to keep this apart I'm so tired of the way the world works I'm so tired of the way the world works They conspire trying to keep this apart
