Big Mama Thornton
Life Goes On
[Verse 1]
Oh, you left me, I'll never know
Hate to tell friends wherever I go
[Refrain]
I played a losing game
But life goes on just the same
[Verse 2]
I was happy right from the start
But now I'm so lonely
Since you broke my heart
[Refrain]
I played a losing game
Life goes on just the same
[Bridge]
I know into each life
There's always a little rain
But I never, no, I'll never understand
Why my life has so much pain
[Verse 3]
Maybe someday you'll tell me why
Why you had to hurt me, hurt me
Oh, child, leave me here to cry
[Refrain]
I played a losing game
But life goes on and on just the same
