Children cry on the street
They don't have enough to eat
Mothers wait for days on end
A hopeless situation they can't mend
Is it good for you?
Is it good for me?
I don't know how the world can sleep
It's just not right to close the door turn out the lights
They'd better be the ones you love
The children ought to get some love
If no-one else should ever get enough
They'd better be the ones you love
Daddy waits there in line
A little work he hopes to find
Something wrong with times like these
It's enough to bring a man down to his knees
Is it good for you? (good for you)
Is it good for me? (good for me)
Well I don't know (I don’t know) how the world can sleep (how the world can sleep)
It can’t be right (can’t be right) to close the door turn out the lights
They'd better be the ones you love
The children ought to get some love
If no-one else should ever get enough
They'd better be the ones you love
They'd better be the ones you love
The children ought to get some love
If no-one else should ever get enough
(They'd better be) the ones you love
(Thinking of) thinking of the children
(The children need oh some love)
(Thinking of) you’d better be thinking about the children
(The children need our love)
Better be, you better be (thinking of)
They better be the ones you love
Better be, you better be (thinking of)
Better be the ones you love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Is it good for you? (good for you)
Is it good for me? (good for me)
I don't know (I don’t know) how the world can sleep (how the world can sleep)
It's just not right to close the door turn out the lights
They'd better be the ones you love
The children ought to get some love
If no-one else should ever get enough
They'd better be the ones you love
They'd better be the ones you love
The children ought to get some love
If no-one else should ever get enough
They'd better be the ones you love
(They'd better be the ones you love) the ones you love
(The children ought to get some love,) better be, better be
(If no-one else should ever get enough) better be the ones you love
(They'd better be) the ones you love
to fade
