Verse 1<\/p>\n
Stepping in the club and I\u2019m sober as a judge
\nI hit the bar to get a little courage from the Dutch
\nI\u2019m waiting to get served and I\u2019m nearly at the front
\nBut there\u2019s always some chump who wants to push and shove
\nLeaning on the counter and taking up all the space
\nTryna wave a tenner in the barman\u2019s face
\nI ask him how it\u2019s going just to keep engaged
\nThen when the barman says \u201cnext\u201d I\u2019m like \u201cyes please mate\u201d
\nWalking through the crowd with a drink in my hand
\nScoping out the place and tryna get the lay of the land
\nNodding to the beat that the DJ\u2019s spinning
\nIt\u2019s early so the only people dancing are the women
\nAll the guys are standing by the side and just look
\nOr pretend to text but are scrolling through their phone book
\nI chuckle to myself like \u201cThese dudes are so lame\u201d
\nBut I stop coz I realise that I\u2019m doing the same<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
You win some and you lose some
\nYou lose some and you win some
\nAnd if you don\u2019t ever lose none
\nYou ain\u2019t never gonna win none<\/p>\n
Verse 2<\/p>\n
I\u2019m on my second drink now and starting to feel chatty
\nBut I\u2019m still just stood alone because nobody takes my fancy
\nFinally I spot a girl I like and we catch eyes
\nShe smiles and looks away which I take as a sign
\nThe only problem is she\u2019s with a bunch of her friends
\nSo if I go over now they\u2019ll all jump to her defence
\nI hang back a minute just to think up a plan
\nWhen out of nowhere I feel a big slap on the back\u2026
\n\u201cWho the\u2026\u201d oh, it\u2019s Matt some guy I used to work with
\nWho\u2019s smashed and wants to chat, but his timing\u2019s far from perfect
\n\u201cYeah It\u2019s good to see you too mate, it\u2019s been too long\u201d
\nI fob him off but by the time I do the girl is gone
\nJust then another girl is like \u201cRemember me?
\n\u201cIt\u2019s Clare, we met at that party the other week\u201d
\nThat\u2019s when the first girl appears again from out of nowhere
\n\u201cMatt come back a minute – I want you to meet this girl Clare\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
You win some and you lose some
\nYou lose some and you win some
\nAnd if you don\u2019t ever lose none
\nYou ain\u2019t never gonna win none<\/p>\n
Verse 3<\/p>\n
I see her leave her friends and head for the smoking area
\nFinally this is my chance at last to get near to her
\nI play it cool like I\u2019ve not been trying all night
\n\u201cOh hey, you OK? I don\u2019t suppose you\u2019ve got a light?\u201d
\nCorny little tactic but it seems to do the trick
\nAnd in five minutes we\u2019re laughing til we\u2019ve both got a stitch
\nWe head back in and have a drink and a shuffle
\nAs the night goes on we have a kiss and cuddle
\nAt the end of the evening I ask her for her digits
\nAnd she gives em up with absolutely no resistance
\nBut as I get my phone out she sees my lighter fall
\nAnd I\u2019m like \u201cOh I guess I must have had one after all\u2026\u201d
\nThe next day I wake up feeling like a true player
\nBut don\u2019t wanna look too keen so wait to text her later
\nBut the response I get makes me a little humbler
\nCoz some dude texts back \u201cSorry mate, wrong number\u201d<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
You win some and you lose some
\nYou lose some and you win some
\nAnd if you don\u2019t ever lose none
\nYou ain\u2019t never gonna win none<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
