Jon Fratelli - Sometimes You Just Can't Win lyrics
[Jon Fratelli - Sometimes You Just Can't Win lyrics]
I won't take your pity
And I won't be ignored
I don't want your money
But I wouldn't mind to be adored
I won't be forgotten, I won't be denied
I can't be held guilty for
Anything I might've tried
And there's no spooks around my door
Paying my rent or sweeping my floor
I never said things I never did mean
Once or twice I've lied
I've always been kind to women
Who have taken me in
Sometimes you're a sinner
Sometimes you just can't win
I can't live forever
But I can't be blamed for trying
I won't beg forgiveness just because
You won't find me crying
I don't want you thinking I'm a gutless man
Street fights they don't scare me
But I avoid them when I can
And there's no doubt about it
It's a pointless age built with minimum rage
It's hard to be the saint when
You steal the best lines
Someone else implied
I never been one to talk much
I've just lived in my skin
Sometimes you're a loser
Sometimes you just can't win
I won't be a hound dog, I won't be a bust
I can't compensate you for
Anything you might've lost
I don't understand you
But what's to understand
You joined last night's choir, and me
I joined a band
And there's no reason, just cold hard facts
Nothing's ever real and the truth just cracks
I don't want this 'cause I've got mine
And jealousy's not my style
Someday I'll get bored and
Contemplate giving in
Sometimes you're a saint
Sometimes you just can't win
And I won't be ignored
I don't want your money
But I wouldn't mind to be adored
I won't be forgotten, I won't be denied
I can't be held guilty for
Anything I might've tried
And there's no spooks around my door
Paying my rent or sweeping my floor
I never said things I never did mean
Once or twice I've lied
I've always been kind to women
Who have taken me in
Sometimes you're a sinner
Sometimes you just can't win
I can't live forever
But I can't be blamed for trying
I won't beg forgiveness just because
You won't find me crying
I don't want you thinking I'm a gutless man
Street fights they don't scare me
But I avoid them when I can
And there's no doubt about it
It's a pointless age built with minimum rage
It's hard to be the saint when
You steal the best lines
Someone else implied
I never been one to talk much
I've just lived in my skin
Sometimes you're a loser
Sometimes you just can't win
I won't be a hound dog, I won't be a bust
I can't compensate you for
Anything you might've lost
I don't understand you
But what's to understand
You joined last night's choir, and me
I joined a band
And there's no reason, just cold hard facts
Nothing's ever real and the truth just cracks
I don't want this 'cause I've got mine
And jealousy's not my style
Someday I'll get bored and
Contemplate giving in
Sometimes you're a saint
Sometimes you just can't win
