You can't win
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
People kee sayin'
Things are gonna change
But they look us like
You're stayin' the same
You can't win
Get over your head
And you only have yourself to blame
You can't win chile
(you can't win chile)
You ain't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't win
The world keeps movin'
And you're standin' far behind
People keep sayin'
Things'll get better
(just to ease your state of mind)
(so you lean back, and you smoke that smoke)
(and you drink your glass of wine)
So you can't win, chile
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't win, you can't win no way
If your story stays the same
(you ain't winnin'),
No, no,
(but it's nice to see you)
[You Can't Win lyrics on link
(I'm awfully glad you came)
(better cool it 'cause
It ain't abour losin')
Then the world has got no shame
You can't win, chile
You can't break even
You can't get out of the game
You can't win
You can't break even
Ain't the way it's supposed to be
(you'll be spendin'),
No, no
(your little bit of money)
While someone else rides for free
(learn your lesson), ooh,
(refuel your mind)
(before someone blows out your flame)
You can't win, chile. no!
You can't win
You can't win, chile. no!
You can't win
You can't win, chile. no!
You can't win
You can't win, chile. no!
You can't win
You can't win, chile
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't get out of the game
You can't get out (ugh!) of the game
No, no...

We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me
(you've got a friend in me)
Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
[ Find madami Lyrics on link ]
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go
(you've got a place to go)
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(a friend) Like Ben
(like Ben) Like Ben
