Just Can't Win 'Em All

by Stevie Woods

on Take Me to Your Heaven (1981)

In the streets there's people dancing
You sit home and wonder why
He would turn on his heels and go
No backward glancing

What he said last night
You still can't quite recall
You can try, you can try
But you just can't win 'em all

One good turn deserves another
He wasn't the first to leave you this way
Oh you tried so hard to keep your bases covered
Now you say that no one told you
'Bout the price you had to pay

Wasn't it you?
Who said that nothing mattered
Wasn't it you?
Who had to have it all

Now your broken wings are all in tatters
I would learn how to fly
But it's just too far to fall
You can try, you can try

But you just can't win 'em all
Don't ask me why
You just can't win 'em all
You can try, you can try
But you just can't win 'em all
