Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Sitting in a SDT Waiting for an underground train To rumble underneath my feet Bang goes another day Where it went I could not say Now I'll have to wait another week When all is said and all is done What was said was never done Don't panic, it's not really worth your while Bang goes another year In and out of one ear Everybody's doing it, so do it too I don't need anyone But a little love would make things better I don't need anyone But a little love would make things better Sitting on the early bus Passing through the morning rush It makes no difference that I'm not with you Bang goes another year In and out of one ear Everybody's doing it, I'll do it too I don't need anyone But a little love would make things better I don't need anyone But a little love would make things better Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah I don't need anyone But a little love would make things better I don't need anyone But a little of your love can make things better I don't need anyone But a little love would make things better I don't need anyone But a little of your love can make things better
