It doesn't have to be this way Just countin' the hours Cos'when your bed it's made Then Baby it's too late There's no hope for a hungry child Whose joker is wild They take all hope away 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 gonna ask for more You gonna ask for more It doesn't have to hurt that way Hust counting the pain You've only got yourself 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 And I just can't see the sense And my mind's a haze Will I just about have enough of the sunshine ahead 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 gonna ask for more But society ah take a tip from me now Sui bap bap a du bip bap 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 gonna ask for more, you gonna ask for more 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 gonna ask for more, you gonna ask for more 1987 OFS
