written by Smokey Stove © 1962, 1979 Glad Music Company (BMI) Just when the sun shines the brightest And the world looks alright again Then the clouds fill the skies You can't believe your eyes Sometimes you just can't win Well my love never meant much to you dear For to you I was always a friend Oh why did I fall You have no heart at all Sometimes you just can't win No I can't live like this any longer Not knowing just where I stand Oh darling you don't care And sweetheart it don't seem fair Sometimes you just can't win Oh sometimes you just can't win
