it doesn´t have to be this way
just counting the hours
´cos when your bed it´s 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
