The world don't work the way that we want The world don't work the way that we want You can hope for the best But be ready for a test Cause the world don't work the way that we want I lost a good friend only months ago I lost a good friend only months ago She was still young Her song was hardly sung I lost a good friend only months ago There's so much out there That can tempt you with despair There's so much that can make you want to cry But I will not hang my head I'm going to sing a song instead Cause there's still one truth that no grief can deny It's to be loved by somebody That's what it's all about To give your love to somebody else To be loved be somebody That's what it's all about To give your love to somebody else
