If I had a girl that loved me   Just as much as she loves you   I'd stay in her arms every doggone day   And never would be untrue      You can't win   (You can't win)   Don't do it, my friend      Well, you told her lies and alibis   You tried to make her think you care   But when she wants the little bit of love you promised   She can't find it anywhere      You can't win   (You can't win)   Don't do it, my friend      One of these days you're gonna find yourself   All alone and, oh, so blue   Don't come to me for sympathy 'cause it'll be too late   There won't be a thing I can do for you      Well, you'd better take her in your lovin' arms   And tell her that you're so ashamed   Don't try to be smart and break her heart   'Cause you're gonna play a loser's game      You can't win   (You can't win)   Don't do it, my friend      One of these days you're gonna find yourself   All alone and, oh, so blue   Don't come to me for sympathy 'cause it'll be too late   There won't be a thing I can do for you      Well, you'd better take her in your lovin' arms   And tell her that you're so ashamed   Don't try to be smart and break her heart   'Cause you're gonna play a loser's game      You can't win   (You can't win)   Don't do it, my friend      You can't win   (You can't win)   Don't do it, my friend      You can't win   (You can't win)   Don't do it, my friend   ...
