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   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 conspire trying to keep this 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 this apart      There's so much in life that's undecided   There's so much to avoid, let's not invite it   And only so much you can control      What are the voices that try and tease us   I wish the voices 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 trying to keep this apart      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 this apart
