Liven up, lose the chains

It's hard to lie down in the driving rain

I lost a job I thought I had

My friends say, maybe that ain't so bad

You gotta lose boy, to learn to win

Life's just a game, I'll never understand

But the ride is rough

And when you fall, you better get back up

Take the reins by the hand

And learn to fall like a man

My baby called from the south of France

And said, "I know what you want buddy"

But there ain't no chance

I finally found my pot of gold

And what you hide, mine is yours to hold

Baby darling, I'm just a man

And love's just a game, I'll never understand

She said, the ride is rough

And when you fall, you just get back up

Take the reins by the hand

And learn to crawl like a man

Brother, if you can

You learn to crawl like a man, yeah

Take the reins like a man

If you can

You gotta lose boy, to learn to win

Life's just a game, I'll never understand

Well, the ride is rough

And when you fall, you just get back up

Take the reins by the hand

And learn to crawl like a man

Brother, if you can

Learn to crawl like a man
