The way the world works

Gimme just a little break
Ain't no more that I can take
I am asking for the planets to align
Calling on the universe
Maybe once just put me first
Give me what I need or give a little sign

Nothing plays out like it should
Nothing does me any good
'Cause I'm missing you and it's making me cry

Oh, I know it's turning
Inside I'm burning and

I'm so tired of the way the world works
I'm so tired of the way the world works
They conspire in trying to keep us apart

Nothing ventured, nothing gained
I don't mind a little pain
But enough's enough
Does the heart grow fonder? (Yes!)
Will I wait here on ya? (Yes!)
Baby, how much longer?

Oh, I know it's turning
All I am learning is

I'm so tired of the way the world works
I'm so tired of the way the world works
They conspire in trying to keep us apart

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 eforces 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, ever, baby

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
In trying to keep us apart (gimme just, gimme just)

I'm so tired of the way the world works
I'm so tired of the way the world works
They conspire in trying to keep us apart

I'm so tired of the way the world works (gimme just, gimme just a little break)
(Give me just a little break)
I'm so tired of the way the world works (gimme just, gimme just a little break)
(Ain't no more that I can take)
I'm so tired, I'm so tired (gimme just, gimme just a little break)
(Calling on the universe)
I'm so tired of the way the world works (gimme just, gimme just a little break)
(Maybe once just put me first)
(Gimme just, gimme just a little break)
(Give me what I need)
