There was a time a good girl believed
Things would turn out right
If you just behave and with God above
No one would ever leave
I've had some broken dreams
I'd just as soon forget
Waiting for the finer things
And promises unkept

Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't
That's how love goes
Sorrow runs deep, but the joy you will keep
That's how love goes
You get lost, you fall down, but still you find your way
That's how love goes
It goes where the wind blows

Take what you want live the good life
Sounded good to me
So I rode that wave, I was once so sure
Now I don't know what I need
Giving only the best of me
So sure of my designs
I looked for the safest bet
But the odds changed all the time

Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't
That's how love goes
You turn the page, you seem more your age
That's how love goes
You get lost, you fall down, but still you find your way
That's how love goes

Some people run away to find a new life
Some are gonna do what it takes to get thru the night
Afraid of standing still
When that's the only way

Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't
That's how love goes
Sorrow runs deep, but the joy you will keep
That's how love goes
You get lost, you fall down, but still you find your way
That's how love goes
It goes where the wind blows
