If I had a girl that loved me
Just as much as she loves you
I'd stay in her arms every doggone day
& never would be untrue
You can't win (you can't win)
Don't do it, my friend
Well you told her lies & alibis
You tried to make her think you care
But when she wants the little bit of love you promised
She can't find it anywhere
You can't win (you can't win)
Don't do it, my friend
Bridge:
One of these days you're gonna find yourself
All alone & oh so blue
Don't come to me for sympathy
'Cause it'll be too late
There won't be a thing I can do for you
Well you'd better take her in your lovin' arms
& tell her that you're so ashamed
Don't try to be smart & break her heart
'Cause you're gonna play a loser's game
You can't win (you can't win)
Don't do it, my friend
(instrumental)
(repeat bridge)
(repeat verse 3)
(repeat & fade):
You can't win (you can't win)
Don't do it, my friend
