It doesn't have to be this way
Just count the hours
Cos when your bed is made
Then baby it's too late
Yeah...
There's no hope for the hungry child
Whose joker is wild
They take all hope away
And by the end of the day
Well I just about have 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
It doesn't have to hurt that way
Just count the pain
You've only got yourselves to blame
For playing the game
There's no hope for a hungry child (no wonder! )
Whose joker is wild
And they take all hope away (no wonder! )
And I just can't see the sense
And my mind's a haze (no wonder! )
Well I just about have 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 baby
You're gonna ask for more
But society take a tip from me now
Do you want it?
Do you want it?
Don't you know that I got it baby?
Don't you know I got it baby?
Ooh and I just about have enough of the sunshine
Hey! What did I hear you say? (What did I hear you say! )
You know, it doesn't have to be that way
When you walk out the door (When you walk out that door! )
You better ask for more (Want more, want more, you gotta 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 of the door baby
You're gonna ask for more x2
I said hey what
Hey, what did I hear you say
You know it doesn't have to be that way
You! When you walk out the door (when you walk out the door! )
Baby, you're gonna ask for more (you're gonna ask for more! )
You're gonna ask for more
For more
