I've got a life
though it refuses to shine
I've got a life it aint over
I've got a way
it's the only things thats 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 ones gonna help you now
it's dog eat dog the human race
the only thing they'll do is hate you

such a crime to be unkind
turn your cheek pretend your 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 im 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 im asking for is tenderness

be strong now baby
gotta be strong now baby
gotta be strong!
