Oooh Ooh ooh oohhhh

Oooh Ooh ooh oohhhh


All bets are in, all eyes on you

I’ve been working so hard for something that’s only making me blue

Head first, falling towards the brink

Sometimes in order to rise, you gotta know what it’s like to sink

Uh huh


But I don’t wanna leave ya baby

Please know that it ain’t you you

I’ve been working so hard for something

I just can’t afford, just can’t afford to lose


Get it while you can

People will talk but why give a damn

Time may be a manmade construct but a plan is a plan

You gotta give into the clues

If you never stop to listen then you’ll always pay for the blues

Sometimes to win, you gotta know what it’s like to lose


But I don’t wanna leave ya baby

Please know that it ain’t you you

I’ve been working so hard for something

I just can’t afford, just can’t afford

So I best be getting where I’m going

There’s no way around it babay

The road is a long and lonely one

Oh, this ain’t easy, this ain’t easy


Oooh Ooh ooh oohhhh

Oooh Ooh ooh oohhhh

Best be getting where I’m going

There’s no way around it babe

The road is a long and lonely one

Oh this ain’t easy, this ain’t easy
