If you can't be hurt, you can't be happy

How you gonna laugh if you can't cry

If you can't be hurt, you can't be happy

You can't be happy unless you try



Life is a gamble, it's true

For every highway there's a rocky road, too

And you're gonna stub your toe

Somewhere down the line, yeah

But chalk it up to living

If you can take what this life is giving

That's a very good sign, yeah



Baby, I know you been beat

You've had too much bitter and not enough sweet

But if you tried it with me

Maybe you'll be glad

It's up to you to choose, now

If you want a chance to win or lose

Now don't you play the game scared, yeah
