The Way the World Works Lyrics

Give me just a little break
Ain't no more that I can take
I am asking for the planets to alignCalling on the universe
Maybe once, just put me first
Give me what I need or give a little signNothing plays out like it should
And nothing does me any good
'Cause I'm missing you, it's making me cryOoh, I know it's turning
Inside I'm burningI'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 apartNothing ventured, nothing gained
I don't mind a little pain
But enough's enoughBut 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 isI'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 apartThere's so much in life that's undecided
There's so much trouble that's uninvited

And only so much you can controlWhat 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, babyHey, hey, give me just a little break
Hey, hey, ain't no more that I can take
Hey, heyThey're trying to keep us apartI'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 apartI'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
