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 CHORUS: 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 CHORUS 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 CHORUS 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
