Just when the sun shines the brightest
And the world looks all right again
The clouds fill the skies you can't believe your eyes
Sometimes you just can't win.

My love never meant much to you dear
For to you I was always a friend
Oh why did I fall you'd have no heart at all
Sometimes you just can't win.

--- Instrumental ---

I can't live like this any longer
Not knowing just where I stand
I know I shouldn't care but sweetheart it don't seem fair
Sometimes you just can't win.

And then when the sun shines the brightest
And the world looks all right again
The clouds fill the skies you can't believe your eyes
Sometimes you just can't win
