Lyrics
Mmm, hungry
Sittin' in my room, starin' into space
The walls are closin' in, just a part of this rat race
Another lonely night, a desperate call
I ain't got no money and that's what hurts me most of all
So, don't stop to give a lecture to me (Lecture, girl)
I'm the one who's hungry, can't you see? (Can't you see?)
It's very easy when you're in a safe place (Place, a safe place)
To keep your distance, that's the bottom line, baby (Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Hungry, baby, when you're hungry (Hungry)
And the rain is comin' down (Down)
Down when you're down (Down)
And there ain't no friends around (Ain't no friends around)
Hungry, baby, when you're hungry (Hungry)
And the rain is comin' down (Comin' down)
Down when you're down (Ah)
And there ain't no friends around
Even though you try, you can't disguise
When you set your table, there's no food for hungry eyes
How do I get by and how should I survive
Pretending to be happy when there's teardrops in my eyes?
So, don't stop to give a lecture to me (Ah-ah)
'Cause I'm the one who's hungry, can't you see? (Ah)
It's very easy when you're in a safe place (In a safe place)
To keep your distance, that's the bottom line, baby, baby (Mmm, yeah)
Hungry, baby, when you're hungry (Hungry)
And the rain is comin' down (Down)
Down when you're down (Down)
And there ain't no friends around (Ain't none)
Hungry, baby, when you're hungry (Hungry)
And the rain is comin' down (Comin' down)
Down when you're down
And there ain't no friends around
Hungry, baby, when you're hungry (Hungry)
And the rain is comin' down (Down)
Down when you're down
And there ain't no friends around (Hungry)
Hungry, baby, when you're hungry (Hungry)
And the rain is comin' down (Ooh-ooh, down)
Down when you're down (Oh)
And there ain't no friends around (Ain't no friends around you)
(Mmm, yummy)
(Mm, feed me)
Don't stop to give a lecture to me (I see)
'Cause I'm the one who's hungry, can't you see? (Can't you see?)
It's very easy when you're in a safe place (Place)
To keep your distance, that's the bottom line, baby, baby (Keep it up, give it up, move it up)
Hungry, baby, when you're hungry (Hungry)
And the rain is comin' down (Down)
Down when you're down (Down)
And there ain't no friends around (Ooh)
Hungry, baby, when you're hungry (Hungry)
And the rain is comin' down (Oh)
Down when you're down
And there ain't no friends around (Keep it up)
Hungry, baby, when you're hungry (I know)
And the rain is comin' down (Down)
Down when you're down (Down)
And there ain't no friends around (No friends around)
Hungry, baby, when you're hungry (Ooh)
And the rain is comin' down (Hungry)
Down when you're down
And there ain't no friends around (No friends around you)
(One, two, holding my shoe)
(Three, four, step on the floor)
(Five, six, taking my licks)
(Seven, eight, no food on my plate)
Hungry, baby, when you're hungry (Oh)
And the rain is comin' down (Down)
Down when you're down (Down)
And there ain't no friends around (Ain't no friends around)
Hungry, baby, when you're hungry (Hungry)
And the rain is comin' down (Down)
Down when you're down (Stealing)
And there ain't no friends around (No)
Hungry, baby, when you're hungry (Yeah,)
And the rain is comin' down (Hey, huh)
Down when you're down (Listen up, yeah)
And there ain't no friends around (Down)
