音乐咖啡厅:Pixie Lott - The Way The World Works

 Gimme just a little break

 

Ain't no more that I can take

 

I am asking for the planets to align¹

 

 

Calling on the universe

 

Maybe once, just put me first

 

Gimme 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

 

 

Ooh, I know it's turning

 

Inside I'm burning...

 

 

I'm so tired of the way the world works

 

I'm so tired of the way the world works

 

They conspire² in trying to keep us apart

 

 

Nothing ventured, nothing gained

 

I don't mind a little pain

 

But enough's enough

 

 

But does the heart grow fonder?

 

Will I wait here on ya?

 

Baby, how much longer?

 

 

Ooh, 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 trying to keep us apart

 

 

There's so much in life that's undecided

 

There's so much touble that's uninvited

 

And only so much you can control

 

 

What are the forces that try to tease us

 

I wish the forces would just release us

 

I haven't seen you in forever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, baby

 

 

(Hey, hey, gimme just a little break, hey, hey, ain't no more that I can take, hey, hey)

 

 

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
