The Way the World Works

[Intro]

Oh, oh, ooh, ooh

Ta-da-da-da-da-da

Mmm, da-day

[Verse 1]

Gimme just a little break

Ain't no more that I can take

I am asking for the planets to align

Callin' 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 missin' you

It's makin' me cry

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, I know it's turnin'

Inside I'm burnin' it

[Chorus]

I'm so tired of the way the world works

I'm so tired of the way the world works

They conspire

Tryin' to keep us apart

Ooh, hey

[Verse 2]

Nothing ventured, nothing gained

I don't mind a little pain

But enough's enough (Ooh)

But does the heart grow fonder? (Yes)

Will I wait here on ya? (Yes)

Baby, how much longer?

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, I know it's turnin'

All I am learnin' is

[Chorus]

I'm so tired of the way the world works

I'm so tired of the way the world works

They conspire

Tryin' to keep us apart

Oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]

There's so much in life that's undecided

There's so much trouble that's uninvited

And only so much you can control

What are the forces that try and tease us?

I wish the forces would just release us

I haven't seen you

In forever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, baby

[Breakdown]

(Hey, hey, gimme just a little break, gimme just, gimme just)

Hey, hey

Ain't no more that I can take (Gimme just, gimme just, hey, hey)

They're tryin' to keep us apart

[Chorus]

I'm so tired of the way the world works (Yeah, yeah)

I'm so tired of the way the world works (Oh, oh)

They conspire

Tryin' to keep us apart

[Outro]

(Yeah; gimme just, gimme just) I'm so tired of the way the world works (It's just the way the world works)

(Gimme just, gimme just) I'm so tired of the way the world works (And not much I can tell)

(Gimme just, gimme just) I'm so tired, I'm so tired

(Gimme just, gimme just) I'm so tired of the way world works (Just put me first)

(Gimme just, gimme just) Wanna leave

(Gimme just)
