Sometimes you gotta love a little   Sometimes you gotta lie a little   Sometimes you gotta laugh a little   Sometimes you gotta cry a little      When I was very young, my mother said to me   This world that we live in is so funny   One day, victory, one day, defeat   You gotta be a man to take the bitter with the sweet   'Cause sometimes      Sometimes you gotta love a little   Sometimes you gotta lie a little   Sometimes you gotta laugh a little   Sometimes you gotta cry a little      The further down the road as I grew up   I met a little girl and I fell in love   I thought I had her love all to myself   Until I found there was someone else   Said, I know      Sometimes you gotta love a little   Sometimes you gotta lie a little   Sometimes you gotta laugh a little   Sometimes you gotta cry a little      Now, it's all over, I forgot that girl   I think that I'm ready to face the world   One day, victory, one day, defeat   Now I can take the bitter with the sweet   'Cause sometimes      Sometimes you gotta love a little   Sometimes you gotta lie a little   Sometimes you gotta laugh a little   Sometimes you gotta cry a little
