(Patrick Moten/Sandra Sully)
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 your wanna cry, sometimes you play the fool

[Tag:]

Hold on a little longer
Try to be a little stronger
And you can win

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]


[Repeat tag]


[Repeat verse 2]

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]
