Can't Win

(альбом: Gerald's World - 2001)

How do you say it's over
And still be friends? Oh yeah
We got so much in common
I just can't be her man
Can't be her man, no, no

I love her but I'm not in love
She's got my child
She's got my thing
She's got my baby

But she can be so vindictive
What am I gonna do now?
What am I gonna do now? Yeah

Sometimes I just wanna throw up my hands
But that's not the real manly thing to do, oh no, no, no, no, no
Sometimes I just wanna give up and quit to hell with it
What about my child? What about my child?

No matter how hard I try to do right
I can't win if I'm losing, no I can't win if I'm losing
You say my heart means well but I always fail
And I can't win if I'm losing, no way I can win, I can't win, no

No matter what step I take
It's always in the wrong direction, direction, direction
And no matter how close I come
To getting it right is never perfection, no way, no how, no

How many bumps and bruises can you take
before it looks like a TKO? Oh no
And how many hearts and promises
Must you break before you leave it alone?
Let it go, let it go, let it go

Sometimes I just wanna throw up my hands
But that's not the real manly thing to do, oh no, no, no
Sometimes I just wanna give up and quit to hell with it
What about my child? What about my child?

No matter how hard I try to do right
I can't win if I'm losing, oh no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
My heart means well but I always fail
I can't win if I'm losing

Just wanna throw my hands up in the air and say forget, it babe

No matter how hard I try to do right
I can't win if I'm losing
My heart means well but I always fail
I can't win if I'm losing

I can't win, I can't win
I can't win, I can't win if I'm losing
I can't win, I can't win
I can't win, I can't win if I'm losing

I can't win, I can't win
I can't win, I can't win if I'm losing
I can't win, I can't win
I can't win, I can't win if I'm losing

Said no matter how hard I try to do right
I can't if I'm for losing
My heart means well but I always fail
I can't win if I'm losing

No matter how hard I try to do right
I can't win if I'm losing
My heart means well but I always fail
