It Doesn't Have to Be This Way

It doesn't have to be this way

Just countin' the hours

'Cause when your bed is made

Then baby, it's too late

Yeah

There's no hope for a hungry child

Who's joker is wild

They take all hope away

By the end of the day

Well, I just about have enough of the sunshine

Hey (Hey) what did I hear you say?

'Cause you know, it doesn't have to be that way

You (You) when you walk out the door (When you walk out the door)

You gotta ask for more (You gotta ask for more)

You gotta ask for more

It doesn't have to hurt that way

Just countin' the pain

You've only got yourselves to blame

For playin' the game

There's no hope for a hungry child (No wonder)

Who's joker is wild

And they take all hope away (They wanna)

And I just can't see the sense and my mind's a haze (No wonder)

Ooh, and I just about had enough of this sunshine

Hey (Hey) what did I hear you say?

You know, it doesn't have to be that way

You (You) when you walk out the door, baby (When you walk out the door)

You gotta ask for more (You gotta ask for more)

From society, uh take a tip from me now, yeah

Don't you know that I've got it, baby?

Ooh, and I just about had enough of the sunshine

Hey (Hey) what did I hear you say? (What did I hear you say?)

Ah you know it doesn't have to be that way (Ooh)

When you walk out the door (When you walk out that door)

Ooh, you better ask for more (Walk on, walk on)

Baby, baby, baby (You gotta ask for more)

Hey (Hey) what did I hear you say?

You know, it doesn't have to be that way

You (You) when you walk out the door (When you walk out the door)

Baby, you gotta ask for more (You gotta ask for more)
