Give Up While You're Winning

(album: Pieces Of Magic - 1977)

Time and again, you push your luck and then
You try it again
If you want a happy ending
Stop pretending
You can't go on and on with your cheating game
The same

Your winning streak can't go on forever
Week after week
Though you feel you'll never lose me
You abuse me
Playing for stakes too high if you lose love's game
The blame's on you

(Give up, give up) Why don't you give up while you're winning?
(Give up, give up) Why don't you quit while you're ahead?
(Give up, give up) Why don't you stop before you lose it?
(Give up) Why don't you use your head?

(Give up, give up) No, you're going way beyond the limit
(Give up, give up) You know you're pushing it too far
(Give up, give up) Why don't you give up while you're winning?
(Give up) Oh, what a fool you are

Your winning streak can't go on forever
Week after week
Though you feel you'll never lose me
You abuse me
Playing for stakes too high if you lose love's game
The blame's on you

(Give up, give up) Why don't you give up while you're winning?
(Give up, give up) Why don't you quit while you're ahead?
(Give up, give up) Why don't you stop before you lose it?
(Give up) Why don't you use your head?

(Give up, give up) So, you're going way beyond the limit
(Give up, give up) You know you're pushing it too far
(Give up, give up) Why don't you give up while you're winning?
(Give up, give up) Oh, what a fool you are

(Give up, give up) So, why don't you give up while you're winning?
(Give up, give up) Why don't you quit while you're ahead?
(Give up, give up) Why don't you stop before you lose it?
(Give up, give up) Why don't you use your head?

(Give up, give up) You're going way beyond the limit
(Give up, give up) You know you're pushing it too far
