Lyrics

Everybody wants to be a winner and take their place at the top Everyone wants their name up in lights, for the good times never stop Sometimes the bad luck will creep up and catch you by surprise Your mind's confused, you feel misused You've got to leave those troubles behind Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose Sometimes you wanna cry, sometimes you play the fool (You gotta hold on) Hold on a little longer Try to be a little stronger (You gotta hold on) And you can win, you can win And everything is gonna be yours When you cry the whole world laughs at you They don't seem to understand But the time will come when the tables turn And you're gonna have the winning hand Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose Sometimes you wanna cry, sometimes you play the fool (You gotta hold on) Hold on a little longer Try to be a little stronger (You gotta hold on) And you can win, you can win And everything is gonna be yours Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose Sometimes You gotta hold on You gotta hold on When you cry the whole world laughs at you They don't seem to understand But the time will come when the tables turn And you're gonna have the winning hand Sometimes the bad luck will creep up and catch you by surprise Your mind's confused, you feel misused You've got to leave those troubles behind Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose Sometimes you wanna cry, sometimes you play the fool Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose Sometimes you wanna cry, sometimes you play the fool
