It doesn't have to be this way
Just counting the hours
'Cos when your bed is made
then baby it's too late, yeah...
There's no hope
for the hungry child
Who's joker is wild
They take all hope away
and by the end of the day
Well I've just about had
enough of the sunshine
Hey, what did I hear you say
You know it doesn't
have to be that way
You, when you
walk out the door
You're gonna ask for more
You're gonna ask for more
It doesn't have to hurt that way
Just counting the pain
You've only got
yourselves to blame
For playing the game
There's no hope
for the hungry child
Who's joker is wild...
And they take all hope away
And I just can't see the sense
and my mind's a haze
Ooh, and I've just about
had enough of this sunshine
Hey, what did I hear you say
You know it doesn't
have to be that way
You, when you
walk out the door, baby
You gotta ask for more
but society take a
tip from me now yeah
Ooh and I've just about
had enough of the sunshine
Hey, what did I hear you say
You know it doesn't
have to be that way
When you walk out the door
Ooh you better ask for more
Baby, baby, baby...
Hey, what did I hear you say
You know it doesn't
have to be that way
You, when you
walk out the door baby
You gotta ask for more
You gotta ask for more
I said hey..., oooh...
