When You're Not Winning

I’m gonna write you a song
I’m gonna write you a symphony
And if they tell me I’m wrong
I’ll say, «They've all got it in for me»
I say, «I knew from the start, right from the beginning»
You see, life is hard when you’re not winning
I’m gonna build you a yacht
I’m gonna sail it across the sea
And if it starts to go wrong
I’ll get someone to rescue me
And if nobody comes, then I’ll start swimming
You see, life is hard when you’re not winning
When you’re not winning
Even the water’s dry
When you’re not winning
You feel your hands are tied behind your back again
Just like last time
When you’re not winning
Even the water’s dry
When you’re not winning
You feel your hands are tied behind your back again
Just like last time
I’m gonna write you a song
I’m gonna write you a symphony
And if they tell me I’m wrong
I’ll say, «They've all got it in for me»
I say, «I knew from the start, right from the beginning»
You see, life is hard when you’re not winning
When you’re not winning
Even the water’s dry
When you’re not winning
You feel your hands are tied behind your back again
Just like last time
Just like last time
Just like last time
