Hard Knock Life (Annie)

It's a hard-knock life for us!
It's a hard-knock life for us!
'Stead of treated
We get tricked!
'Stead of kisses
We get kicked!
It's a hard-knock life!
Got no folks to speak of, so
It's the hard-knock row we how
Cotton blanket
'steada wool
Empty Bellies
'Steada full!
It's a hard-knock life!
Don't it feel like the wind is always howlin?
Don't it seem like there's never any light?
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in?
It's easier than putting up a fight.
No one's there when your dreams at night are creepy!
No one cares if you grow or if you shrink!
No one dries when your eyes get wet and weepy
From the crying you would think this place would sink!
Ohhhh!!!!!!!
It's a hard-knock life for us!
It's a hard-knock life for us!
'Stead of treated
We get tricked!
'Stead of kisses
We get kicked!
It's a hard-knock life!
Got no folks to speak of, so
It's the hard-knock row we how
Cotton blanket
'steada wool
Empty Bellies
'Steada full!
It's a hard-knock life!
Don't it feel like the wind is always howlin?
Don't it seem like there's never any light?
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in?
It's easier than putting up a fight.
No one's there when your dreams at night are creepy!
No one cares if you grow or if you shrink!
No one dries when your eyes get wet and weepy
From the crying you would think this place would sink!
Ohhhh!!!!!!!
Santa Claus we never see
Santa Claus? What's that? Who's he?
No one cares for you a smidge
When you're in an orphanage

IT'S THE HARD KNOCK LIFE!!!
