Yesterday brought a change,
Now your life will never be the same,
Oh it just ain't fair, no,
It's not the way it should have been,
Fate arrived and shattered all your dreams,
Now you want to scream yeah…
And when it rains, it pours,
You might tell yourself you can't…
Take it no more,
Then I will say to you…
Don't give up, don't give in,
Don't you know that you must play to win?
It's how it's always been, yeah,
It's time for you to make your move,
That's the way you get your life again,
If you don't give in, just play to win…
Just suppose you were low,
All your hopes and dreams got washed away,
You know they might some day, yeah,
Just get up from the floor,
Dry your eyes and run through open doors,
And make the moment yours, yeah…
And when it rains, it pours,
You might tell yourself you can't…
Take it no more,
Then I will say to you…
Don't give up, don't give in,
Don't you know that you must play to win?
It's how it's always been, yeah,
It's time for you to make your move,
That's the way you get your life again,
If you don't give in, just play to win…
Disillusioned and afraid,
Don't you know that we all get those days?
No-one can escape,
Now's the time to free your mind,
Throw the dice and let the good times roll,
Time to control, yeah…
And when it rains, it pours,
You tell yourself you can't…
Take it no more,
Then I will say to you…
Don't give up, don't give in,
Don't you know that you must play to win?
It's how it's always been, yeah,
It's time for you to make your move,
That's the way you get your life again,
It's how it's always been, just play to win…
Ad-libs:(Don't give up, don't give in),
Play to win, play to win,
Don't give in, you play to win,
(It's time for you to make your move),
Don't you know that you must play,
Play to win, play to win,
And don't give in, don't give in…
Don't you know you must play, play,
Just play, just play to win…
Come on you're nearly there, don't just stop,
Throw those dice, cos it's your life,
Just play to win… and don't give in...
