Sometimes You Win Lyrics by Chic

C’est Chic

1978

[Chorus]
Take a little chance
It don't mean a thing
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Take a little chance
It don't mean a thing
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

[Verse 1]
And don't you know that life is just a game
That you play? Win or lose, it's all the same
Open your eyes, you better look before you leap
Take heed and watch the signs of life, don't play the cheat
The wheel of fortune just may take its toll
Be a gambler, play your ace in the hole
You'll never know, you might wind up way ahead
Shoot your best shot, take a little chance before you're dead

[Chorus]
Take a little chance, it don't mean a thing
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Take a little chance, it don't mean a thing
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Take a little chance, it don't mean a thing
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Take a little chance, it don't mean a thing
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

[Verse 2]
Here you come with that smile upon your face
I assume that even time cannot erase
Confidence is the most important thing you need
To look inside yourself, you can succeed
All the time, you better watch out for the trap
Be careful or first time out, you might roll crap
One mistake and life comes tumblin' down
All around, like galloping dominoes, that's how it goes

[Chorus]
Take a little chance, it don't mean a thing
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Take a little chance, it don't mean a thing
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Take a little chance, it don't mean a thing
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Take a little chance, it don't mean a thing
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Take a little chance, it don't mean a thing
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Take a little chance, it don't mean a thing
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Take a little chance, it don't mean a thing
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Take a little chance, it don't mean a thing
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

[Outro]
Take a little chance, it don't mean a thing
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Take a little chance, it don't mean a thing
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Take a little chance, it don't mean a thing
