The Strokes — I Cant Win

[Verse 1] That was you up on the mountain All alone and all surrounded Walking on the ground you're breaking Laughing at the life you're wasting One, two tries won't do it You do it all your life and you never get through it Everything they had to say Had been erased in just one day [Chorus 1] "Good try, we don't like it" "Good try, we won't take that shit" Oh, I can't win [Verse 2] Things in bars that people do When no one wants to talk to you Failing can be quite a breeze He told me that these girls were easy Happy that you said you'd mount me Felt unlucky when you found me Some nights come up empty handed Yes, I'll take it [Chorus 2] Wait now, by the sidewalk Hold on, yes, I'll be right back Oh, I can't win [Instrumental break] [Chorus 3] Yeah, I wait for something "Cool it, we won't take that shit" "Good try, we don't like it" Hold on, yes, I'll be right back
