Doesn't Have to Be That Way

It doesn't have to be that way It doesn't have to be that way Girl you're chasing rainbows but you cry when it's not there It doesn't have to be that way I am a top star I feel a racecar I feel the rain on my flesh The holes have darkened The dogs are barking But they ain't bitten me yet You give up when the game begins Looking like something that the cat dragged in I shout but you can't hear me It doesn't have to be that way It doesn't have to be that way Girl you're chasing rainbows but you cry when it's not there It doesn't have to be that way You wake up and your heart is broken It's all broken again You feel roped in The trailer's smoking But there's a hole in the fence I don't know how you stand the pain Hoping on things that will never change I shout but you don't hear me It doesn't have to be that way It doesn't have to be that way Girl you're chasing rainbows but you cry when it's not there It doesn't have to be that way It doesn't have to be that way It doesn't have to be that way Girl you're chasing rainbows but you cry when it's not there It doesn't have to be that way
