Lyrics

[00:21.60] It doesn't have tp be this way
[00:26.78] Just counting the hours
[00:31.73] 'Cause when your bed it's made
[00:34.06] Then, baby, it's too late, yeah
[00:41.50] There's no hope for a hungry child
[00:46.47] Whose joker is wild
[00:51.28] They take all hope away
[00:53.11] By the end of the day
[00:57.07] Well, I just about had enough of the sunshine
[00:59.30] Hey!
[01:00.65] (Hey!)
[01:01.24] What did I hear you say?
[01:04.95] You know
[01:05.67] It doesn't have to be that way!
[01:09.57] You!
[01:10.45] (You!)
[01:11.07] When you walk out the door
[01:14.37] (You walk out the door)
[01:15.89] You gotta ask for more
[01:16.03] (You gotta ask for more)
[01:17.33] You gotta ask for more
[01:21.08] It doesn't have to hurt that way
[01:24.46] Just counting the pain
[01:29.02] You've only got yourselves to blame
[01:32.77] For playing the game
[01:35.64] 
[01:40.12] There's no hope for a hungry child
[01:43.46] (No wonder!)
[01:44.90] Whose joker is wild
[01:48.07] And they take all hope away
[01:50.53] (No wonder!)
[01:51.36] And I just can't see the sense
[01:53.06] And my mind's a haze
[01:54.51] (No wonder!)
[01:55.59] Ooh, and I just about had enough of the sunshine
[01:58.93] Hey!
[01:59.52] (Hey!)
[02:00.17] What did I hear you say?
[02:03.52] You know
[02:04.53] It doesn't have to be that way!
[02:08.54] You!
[02:09.33] (You!)
[02:09.99] When you walk out the door, baby
[02:13.59] (You walk out the door)
[02:13.79] You gotta ask for more
[02:16.06] (You gotta ask for more)
[02:16.66] From society
[02:17.23] Take a tip from me now, yeah
[02:17.74] Do you want it?
[02:19.34] Do you want it?
[02:21.96] 
[02:30.42] Don't you know that I got it, baby?
[02:33.37] (If you want)
[02:35.28] Do you want it?
[02:36.11] Don't you know I got it, baby?
[02:39.61] 
[02:49.04] Do you want it?
[02:49.40] Do you want it?
[02:52.20] 
[02:55.37] Ooh, and I just about had enough of the sunshine
[02:57.86] Hey!
[02:58.67] (Hey!)
[02:59.57] What did I hear you say?
[03:00.93] (What did I hear you say?)
[03:02.80] You know
[03:03.63] It doesn't have to be that way!
[03:07.80] You!
[03:09.12] When you walk out the door
[03:10.53] (When you walk out that door)
[03:12.44] Ooh, you better ask for more
[03:13.74] Baby, baby, baby
[03:14.71] Hey!
[03:14.96] (Hey!)
[03:17.68] What did I hear you say?
[03:20.46] 
[03:22.56] You know
[03:23.79] It doesn't have to be that way
[03:27.57] You!
[03:28.75] When you walk out the door, baby
[03:32.38] You gotta ask for more
[03:33.74] (You gotta ask for more)
[03:34.22] You gotta ask for more
[03:37.22] I said hey, oh-oh
[03:40.48] (Hey!)
[03:41.37] What did I hear you say?
[03:44.64] You know
[03:45.96] It doesn't have to be that way
[03:49.25] You!
[03:50.94] When you walk out the door, baby
[03:54.30] (You walk out the door)
[03:55.96] You gotta ask for more
[03:56.31] (You gotta ask for more)
[03:57.67] You gotta ask for more
[03:59.43] For more
