I Can't Win

The Strokes

That was you upon the mountain

All alone and all surrounded

Walking on the ground you're breaking

Laughing at the life you're wasting

One, two, a jive won't do it

You do it on your left,

and you'll never get through it

Everything you'll have to see

Dinner isn't just one day


Good try, we don't like it

Good try, we won't take that shit

Oh, I can't win


Things in bars that people do

And no one wants to talk to you

Feeling can be quite a breeze

You told me that these girls were easy

Happy that you said you know me

Felt unlucky when you found me

Some of us come up empy handed

Yes, I'll take it


Wait now, by the sidewalk

Hold on, yes I'll be right back

Oh, I can't win


Yeah, I wait for something

Cool it, we won't take that shit

Good try, we don't like it

Oh, yes I'll be right back
