Turn it down so I can tear it Turn it up so I can see it It's just useless to ignore We're goin' down, you don't feel it Turn it around, you don't mean it And I can't stand it anymore When the whole world sighs And it's makin' you so deflated I've got a life, though it refuses to shine I've got a life, it ain't over, it ain't over I've got a way, it's the only thing that's mine All I'm asking for is tenderness, a little tenderness, tenderness Ooh, it's a cruel place, you never asked to be here Nobody cares and no one's gonna help you now, oh no 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 You turn your cheek, pretend you're blind I've got a life, though it refuses to shine I've got a life, it ain't over, it ain't 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 ain't over, it ain't over I've got a way, it's the only thing that's mine All I'm asking for is tenderness, a little tenderness Be strong now baby, oh Gotta be strong now, baby Gotta be strong now, baby Oh, gotta be strong Strong now baby, oh Gotta be strong now, baby Gotta be strong now, baby Oh, gotta be strong
