Sometimes words kill just like a knife
Be careful what you say
Or you will spend your life in stripes
Some people win some people fail
Some people will lose more
Than they've ever gained
Some people believe in God
And some people don't
Some people will
When it's time for the last round
Now it's over and I can clearly see
Darling, what you really mean to me
Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
That's what they call the blues
Smoky autumn nights and stars up in the sky
Watch the sailing boats across the sea go by
Hear the wailing of rusty strings on an old guitar
And drop a dime in a blind man's jar
Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
That's what they call the blues
I'm bound to lose and bound to fail
The blues that's all I'll gain
True love will win that's what I've heard
The blues never stumbles
Well, that's what I've learned
Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
That's what they call the blues
