Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know you never had money since
Make just enough to cover rent
It's not the cash that's got you feelin' spent
The day-to-day is like a whirlwind
Spending time trying to make some change
But everything seems to stay the same
[Verse 2]
You keep trying
You keep trying
You keep trying
[Verse 3]
But you just can't win
But you just can't win
But you just can't win
But you just can't win
Oh, oh
[Verse 4]
You carry on, that's the only way
So clap your hands and stomp your feet
Said, clap your hands and stomp your feet
Make your time, don't just make ends meet
Hold fast and you'll surely see
You'll hit your mark, but it ain't for free
[Verse 5]
You keep trying
You keep trying
You keep trying
[Verse 6]
But you just can't win
But you just can't win
But you just can't win
No, you just can't win
No, you just can't win
[Verse 7]
You keep trying
You keep trying
You keep trying
[Verse 8]
But you just can't win
Said you just can't win
No, you just can't win
Said you just can't win
[Verse 9]
No
Oh, oh
Yeah
You can't win
Just can't win
But you keep on trying
And you might just win
