The Way The World Works Lyrics

Give me 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
And nothing does me any good
'Cause I'm missing you, 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, oh hey

Nothing ventured, nothing gained
I don't mind a little pain
But enough's enough
Does the heart grow fonder?
Will I wait here on you?
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, oh oh

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 voices that try and tease us?
I wish them voices would just release us
I haven't seen you in forever, ever ever ever ever ever baby

They're trying to keep us apart!

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