Somebody's gotta win
Somebody's gotta lose
Somebody's got to play the fool
Somebody's gotta laugh
Somebody's gotta cry
Somebody's got to almost die
I've asked myself so many times
Why do I always lose this heart of mine
And get nothing in return
Except the clown's reputation
A broken heart and much humiliation
I've asked this question again and again
And the answer's the same
Somebody's gotta win
(Somebody's winning)
Somebody's gotta lose
(Somebody's losing)
Somebody's got to play the fool
(Play, play the fool)
Somebody's gotta laugh
(Somebody's laughing)
Somebody's gotta cry
(Somebody's crying)
Somebody's got to almost die
(Almost, almost die)
Sometimes life can be so cold
I often think to be a loser is my role
True love, true love
It seems so hard to find
And loneliness and loneliness
Is just an old friend of mine
Friend and mine
I've asked this question
Again and again and again and again
But the answer's the same
Somebody's gotta win
(Somebody's winning)
Somebody's gotta lose
(Somebody's losing)
Somebody's got to play the fool
(Play, play the fool)
Somebody's gotta laugh
(Somebody's laughing)
Somebody's gotta cry
(Somebody's crying)
Somebody's got to almost die
(Almost, almost die) almost die
Somebody's gotta win
(Somebody's winning)
Somebody's gotta lose
(Somebody's losing)
Somebody's got to play the fool
(Play, play the fool)
Somebody's gotta laugh
(Somebody's laughing)
Somebody's got to cry
(Somebody's crying)
Somebody's got to almost die
(Almost, almost die)
Somebody's gotta win
(Somebody's got to win)
Somebody's got to lose
(Somebody's got to lose)
Somebody's got to play
Somebody's got to play
(Play, play the fool)
Play the fool, the fool, ooh
(Somebody's got to laugh)
Oh, somebody's got to laugh
(Somebody's got to cry)
Somebody's got to almost
Almost, almost, almost die
(Almost, almost die)
(Somebody's got to win)
Why must life be so cold
Oh, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know
(Somebody's got to lose)
Somebody's got to play
Somebody's got to play
Play the fool, just a big fool
(Play, play the fool)
(Somebody's got to laugh)
(Somebody's got to cry)
(Oh, almost, almost die)
