Eurythmics | Lyrics | I've Got a Life

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
