You got to lose
You can’t win all the time
You got to lose
You can’t win all the time
Well I know pretty baby
I see trouble comin’ down the line

Well I was out on the streets baby
I did not have no money
Don’t you worry pretty baby
I’ll be back on my feet soon honey

You got to lose
You can’t win all the time
Well I know pretty baby
I see trouble comin’ down the line

You got to lose
You can’t win all the time
You got to lose
You can’t win all the time
Yes I know pretty baby
I see trouble comin’ down the line

Yeah I was out on the streets
I did not have no friends
I didn’t have no money
And nothing I could spend

You got to lose
You can’t win all the time
Well I know pretty baby
I see trouble comin’ down the line
