Don't Tell Me lyrics

I've got an empty feeling Losing out so try to understand I played a thousand games of cards And never won a single hand And I know that I've been trying hard That's probably all I am They say you win and loose I hope I win some day It seems no matter what you try to do You step on someone's toes To recognize your friends from foes And it gets harder every day Well I'm not feeling sorry for myself But it might sound that way But friends are all I got To get me through each day I made up lies I stayed in bed I've followed every rule they set I tried to compromise instead Don't tell me Don't tell me why I never thought I'd try to win I never thought I'd try to see And loose it all some day I hope it's not too late I made up lies I stayed in bed I've followed every rule they set Don't tell me I tried to compromise instead Don't tell me Don't tell me Don't tell me why
