[Verse 1]
Darkness falls and you withdraw
Your humour disappears
It's been this way for years, it's not that new
Come around and don't look down
You'll never see the sun
You'll never see the one who's loving you

[Chorus]
You've got to hold your head up, darling
Never let them see when you're sad, you look a lot like me
You've got to want to win, my darling, or you're bound to lose
I wish for once that I could bring you good news, good news

[Verse 2]
Now I don't care for sad affairs
The outcome's up to you
If tears are overdue, then let them fall
Come around and don't look down
You'll never see the sun
You'll never see the one who's loving you

[Chorus]
You've got to hold your head up, darling
Never let them see when you're sad, you look a lot like me
You've got to want to win, my darling, or you're bound to lose
I wish for once that I could bring you good news, good news
[Outro]
You've got to want to win, my darling, or you're bound to lose
I wish for once that I could bring you good news, good news
