You Can't Win 'Em All - Levon Helm

You only think of yourself, she said

Why do you leave me lonely with nothing at all

I’m nothing without you, you can’t win 'em all

I’ve never had it so good, she said

But in the end it all comes to nothing at all

She’s nothing without me, you can’t win 'em all

If love’s a gamble then love’s a game

Win or lose, it’s worth the pain

Love’s a gamble and just the same

But if you lose, if you lose, who’s to blame?

I didn’t help but I sympathize

She only aging and I know she’s real to fall

I’m finished without her, you can’t win 'em all

If love’s a gamble then love’s a game

Win or lose, it’s worth the pain

Love’s a gamble and just the same

But if you lose, if you lose, who’s to blame?

Tell me, what if you lose

You just might lose, so tell me who’s to blame?

(You only think of yourself, she said)

You can’t win 'em all, you just might fall

Then tell me who’s to blame?

(I've never had it so good, she said)

I’ve never had it so good, my darling
