In the streets There's people dancing You sit home and wonder why He would turn on his heels and go No backward glancing What he said last night You still can't quite recall You can try You can try But you just can't win 'em all One good turn deserves another He wasn't the first to leave you this way Oh, you tried so hard to keep your bases covered Now you say That no one told you 'bout the price you had to pay Wasn't it you Who said that nothing mattered? Wasn't it you Who had to have it all? Now your broken wings are all in tatters I would learn how to fly But it's just too far to fall You can try You can try But you just can't win 'em all Don't ask me why You just can't win 'em all You can try You can try But you just can't win 'em all
