People all around me
But I don't even have a friend
Lord knows I've been trying
But I just can't win

Everything I do
Seems to turn out wrong
Sometimes I wish
Oh, I wish I never was born

Talkin' 'bout teardrops
Nobody, nobody knows
Talkin' 'bout long, lonely nights
I've had more than my share
Just ain't fair
Just ain't fair

Some folks got it easy
They live the life of love and play
Lord knows I've got to struggle
Got to struggle to make my way

One of these days, y'all
Gonna reach the top, yes I will
I know I can make it
'Cause these tears won't let me stop
Talkin' 'bout teardrops
Nobody, nobody cares
Talkin' 'bout long, lonely nights, listen
I've had more than my share
It just ain't fair
It just ain't fair
It just ain't fair
You know it ain't fair

Nobody to call my own (it just ain't fair)
Just stay at home (it just ain't fair)
Listen to my own (it just ain't fair)
No, it ain't fair (it just ain't fair)
