Lyrics
Sometimes You Just Can't Win
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.
Just when the sun shines the brightest and the world looks all right again
The clouds fill the skies you can't believe your eyes sometimes you just can't win
My love never meant much to you dear and to you I was always a friend
Oh why did I fall you'd have no heart at all sometimes you just can't win
[ ac.guitar ]
I can't live like this any longer not knowing just where I stand
I know I shouldn't care but sweetheart it don't seem fair
Sometimes you just can't win
And then when the sun shines the brightest...
Yeah sometimes you just can't win
