I've got an empty feeling   Losing out so try to understand   I played a thousand games of cards   And never won a single hand   That's probably all I am   They say you win and loose   I hope I win some day It seems no matter what you try to do   You step on someone's toes   And it gets harder every day   To recognize your friends from foes   Well I'm not feeling sorry for myself   But it might sound that way   But friends are all I got   To get me through each day      I've followed every rule they say   I made up lies I stayed in bed   I tried to compromise instead   Don't tell me   Don't tell me why      I never thought I'd try to win And loose it all some day   I never thought I'd try to see I hope it's not too late   I've followed every rule they say I made up lies I stayed in bed   I tried to compromise instead   Don't tell me   Don't tell me   Don't tell me   Don't tell me why
