I’ve Got a Life

Turn it down, so I can't hear it
Turn it out so I can't see it
It's just useless to ignore

We're goin' down, you don't feel it
Turn it around, you don't mean it
And I can't stand it anymore

When the whole world sighs
And it's makin' you so deflated

I've got a life, though it refuses to shine
I've got a life, it ain't over, it ain't over (got a life)
I've got a way, it's the only thing that's mine (got a way)
All I'm asking for is tenderness, a little tenderness, tenderness

Ooh, it's a cruel place, you never asked to be here
Nobody cares and no one's gonna help you now, oh no
It's dog eat dog (dog eat dog), the human race
The only thing they'll do is hate you, hate you

Such a crime to be unkind
You turn your cheek, pretend you're blind

I've got a life, though it refuses to shine (got a light)
I've got a life, it ain't over, it ain't over (got a life)
I've got a way, it's the only thing that's mine (got a way)
All I'm asking for is tenderness, tenderness

I've got a life, though it refuses to shine (got a light)
I've got a life, it ain't over, it ain't over (got a life)
I've got a way, it's the only thing that's mine (got a way)
All I'm asking for is tenderness, a little tenderness

Be strong now baby (I've got a light)
Gotta be strong now baby (though it refuses to shine)
Gotta be strong (I've got a life)
Gotta be strong (it ain't over, it ain't over, got a life)
Strong now baby (I've got a way)
Gotta be strong now baby (got a way)
Gotta be strong now baby (all I'm asking for)
Gotta be strong (is tenderness...)
