(Patrick Moten/Sandra Sully)
|
Everybody wants to be a winner and take their place at the top
|
Everyone wants their name up in lights, for the good times never stop
|
Sometimes the bad luck will creep up and catch you by surprise
|
Your mind's confused, you feel misused
|
You've got to leave those troubles behind
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
|
Sometimes your wanna cry, sometimes you play the fool
|
|
[Tag:]
|
Hold on a little longer
|
Try to be a little stronger
|
And you can win
|
You can win
|
And everything is gonna be yours
|
|
When you cry the whole world laughs at you
|
They don't seem to understand
|
But the time will come when the tables turn
|
And you're gonna have the winning hand
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Repeat tag]
|
|
[Repeat verse 2]
|
|
Sometimes the bad luck will creep up and catch you by surprise
|
Your mind's confused, you feel misused
|
You've got to leave those troubles behind
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
