If maybe you'd move over Gave someone else a chance to try their luck Instead, you run up closer Try'n to grab a page before they close the book
It was over 'fore it started, seemed so long when we began Hope you take it like a friend It's a shame to see you cryin', wouldn't think to way back when Looks like I'll never hear the end
Thought you had the honor Took special pride in all your well laid plans Forgot about the others We moved out t'ward the light showin' empty hands
Ah, put the boot down! Mm-hm!
Love to be the winner Gather up your chips in time to cash 'em in We're all lookin' thinner Playin' cards too close for either one to win
Woa oh oh oh It's a shame to see you cryin', wouldn't think to way back when Hope you take it like a friend Yeah eah eah eah
