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 going down You don’t feel it Turn it round You don’t mean it And I can’t stand it anymore When the whole world sighs And it’s making you so deflated I've got a life Though it refuses to shine I've got a life it aint over (it aint over) I've got a way It's the only things that’s mine All I'm asking for is tenderness A little tenderness Ooo it's a cruel place You never asked to be here Nobody cares and no one’s gonna help you now (hold on) It's dog eat dog The human race The only thing they'll do is hate you (hate you) Such a crime to be unkind Turn your cheek pretend you're blind I've got a life Though it refuses to shine I've got a life it aint over It aint over I've got a way It's the only thing that's mine All I’m asking for is tenderness Tenderness I've got a life Though it refuses to shine I've got a life it aint over It aint over I've got a way It's the only thing that's mine All I’m asking for is tenderness Be strong now baby Gotta be strong now baby Gotta be strong now baby Gotta be strong!
