Win some lose some
that's the way I play the hand I get no sense in getting sore.
it comes easy or it never comes at all
and I get somethng off a lesson that's a lesson to us all
Call a teacher, let him answer if he can
what am I gonna do if I can't take it like a man.
What do they want a boy to do if he's done no wrong
the only thing he did was lay his heart out on the line.
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
<<Repeat>>
Inside, outside
doesn't matter where you're standing `cause you always a marked
man
Thou a crazy in a lazy kind of way
If I don't get up this morning well what difference does it
make.
Call a preacher let him save a drowning man
how can he ever sleep at night with evil all around
So ring a bell for Brother Al, he never did no wrong
The only thing he did was lay his heart out on the line
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
His heart out on the line
<<Repeat>>
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
<<Repeat>>
Ooohhhhhhh, Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
Ooohhhhhhh, Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
Ooohhhhhhh, Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
Ooohhhhhhh, Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
When it's good, it's oh so good
When it's bad it's better.
There is no pain then there's no gain
when you stand at the centre of it all.
So could a healer come on down to this great land
I really don't know what to do I just don't understand
Let's ring a bell for Brother man, he never meant no harm
All he had to do was lay his heart out on the line
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
His heart out on the line
<<Repeat 3 times>>
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
