Everyone should have their way
Even if it's only for a day
Something should be done
So that everyone can be the one
One time
Can't really blame the man
He does the best he can
Leaves it to the other guy
Maybe I'd do the same I don't know why
But something should be done
So everyone can be the one
One time
But you know it's hard in this world
For an easy soul
Giants of the world taking it all
Can't really blame the man
He does the best he can
Looking for an easy way
Maybe I'd do the same I'd do the same
Something should be done
So everyone can be the one
One time
But you know it's hard in this world
For a working girl
Giants of the world taking it all
Yeah it's hard in this world
For a working man
Giants of the world making a plan
But everyone should have their way
Even if it's only for a day
Everyone should have their way
Even if it's only for a day
Everyone should have their way
Even if it's only for a day

Kiki Dee

Pauline Matthews better known as Kiki Dee, is an English singer.

She kicked around Britain as a white soul singer for the better part of the late ‘60s and early '70s – even becoming the first British Caucasian signed to Motown – before hooking up with Elton John, who signed her to his Rocket Records label and produced her first notable hit, “I’ve Got the Music in Me.”

In 1976, at which time John was the biggest pop star in the world, he wrote and duetted with Dee on the single “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” which promptly topped the charts all over the world. It did not, however, make Dee a long-term star, though she scored a couple of subsequent hits in England and turned to the stage with some success, especially by starring in Blood Brothers in the West End.
