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
