It Doesn't Have To Be This Way

It doesn't have to be this way

Just counting the hours

'Cos when your bed is 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

It doesn't have to hurt that way

Just 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

And I just can't see the sense and my mind's a haze

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

Do you want it? Do you want it?

Don't you know that I got it baby?

Don't you know I got it baby?

And 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 better ask for more
