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)
