Lyrics

You can't get something for nothing
For the world, no, no, no, no
Well, you can't get something for nothing
For the world, no, no, no, no, no
I've got stars to prove that you can't lose
If you don't get love, you're gonna pay some dues
If you get in line, try to give it in to time
If you're gonna live, child, they you gotta learn
That you can't get something for nothing
Eee, no, no, for the world, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Whoa, you can't get something for nothing
For the world, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
It's very fair to me what I did wrong
I played around with him just a little too long
Instead of realizing that his love was real
I filled his heart with pain
And filled his eyes full of tears
I should've known that...
You can't get something for nothing
Eee, for the world, no
For the world, no, no, no, no
Listen to me, everybody
I've got a story to tell
Well, well, well
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, you can't get something for nothing
You got to give a little, yeah
For the world, for the world
No, no, no, no, no, no...
