Lyrics
Sometimes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 you wanna cry, sometimes you play the fool
Tag:
Hold on a little longer
Try to be a little stronger
And 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:
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Sometimes you wanna cry, sometimes you play the fool
Tag:
Hold on a little longer
Try to be a little stronger
And 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
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
