It Doesn't Have To Be This Way

The Blow Monkeys

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
