I've Got a Life

Turn it down, so I can't hear it

Turn it out so I can't see it

It's just useless to ignore

We're goin' down, you don't feel it

Turn it around, you don't mean it

And I can't stand it anymore

When the whole world sighs

And it's makin' you so deflated

I've got a life, though it refuses to shine

I've got a life, it ain't over, it ain't over (got a life)

I've got a way, it's the only thing that's mine (got a way)

All I'm asking for is tenderness, a little tenderness, tenderness

Ooh, it's a cruel place, you never asked to be here

Nobody cares and no one's gonna help you now, oh no

It's dog eat dog (dog eat dog), the human race

The only thing they'll do is hate you, hate you

Such a crime to be unkind

You turn your cheek, pretend you're blind

I've got a life, though it refuses to shine (got a light)

I've got a life, it ain't over, it ain't over (got a life)

I've got a way, it's the only thing that's mine (got a way)

All I'm asking for is tenderness, tenderness

I've got a life, though it refuses to shine (got a light)

I've got a life, it ain't over, it ain't over (got a life)

I've got a way, it's the only thing that's mine (got a way)

All I'm asking for is tenderness, a little tenderness

Be strong now baby (I've got a light)

Gotta be strong now baby (though it refuses to shine)

Gotta be strong (I've got a life)

Gotta be strong (it ain't over, it ain't over, got a life)

Strong now baby (I've got a way)

Gotta be strong now baby (got a way)

Gotta be strong now baby (all I'm asking for)

Gotta be strong (is tenderness...)
