Ry Cooder – I CAN'T WIN

(L. Johnson/D. Richardson/C. Knight)

I've been trying so hard to find a way to your heart

I can't win, I can't win, I can't win, I can't win

Win your love, win your love

I gave you my love, I gave you my heart

Instead of taking it, keeping it, baby, you tore it apart

But I can't win, I can't win, I can't win, no, I can't win

Win your love, win your love

I go to church every Sunday [And there ain't nothing wrong with that]

I stand work on time, every Monday [I do the best I can]

I can't win, I can't win, I can't win, oh, no, I can't win

Win your love,

Can't seem to win your love, baby

Win your love

No matter how hard I try

Win your love, can't win your love, baby

Win your love, oh-hoo, I can't win

I just can't win, baby

I can't win

I try hard enough, girl

I can't win, I still can't win

I work eight days a week, baby

What more, what more you want me to do ?

I'm down on my knees, baby, I do that

I can't win, please, please, please

Just can't seem to win your love

Come on, and bring it to me, girl

Win your love, win your love
