[Verse 1]
You can try to win my love, but it's just too late
Try and try again, but to lose me is your fate
You can walk the streets 'til your feet refuse
But you won't find me; you will only find the blues
(You will only find the blues)
Oh nothin' but the blues, oh baby

[Chorus]
(You can't win) so give in
You just can't win, so give in
You just can't win
No, you just can't win

[Verse 2]
Because you did me wrong when my love was true
You just led me on; now I've gone away from you
If you call me on the phone to remove your pain
There'll be a busy signal, or else an endless ring
(Or else an endless ring)
Oh nothin' but a ring, oh baby

[Chorus]
(You can't win) so give in
You just can't win, so give in

[Bridge]
Oh baby, give in

Just an endless ring
(Or else an endless ring)
Oh, nothin' but a ring, oh baby

[Chorus]
(You can't win) so give in
You just can't win, so give in
You just can't win
No, you just can't win

[Outro]
Oh baby, give in (You can't win)
You know you just can't win (You can't win, no)
This stuff has got to stop (You can't win, no)
Don't need the love you got (You can't win, no)
I've tried it before (You can't win, no)
I don't need you no more (You can't win, no)
So baby, give in
