Keep your chin up when you're feeling lonely

Don't let them get you down

Ain't no use in your sitting all alone

Hanging around for someone to call

Oooh they won't come knocking at all

Don't run and hide, even if it hurts you inside

So I said, give as good as you get

If you can't beat them, join them

You'd better do it because it makes you feel good

If you can't beat them, join them

You're never gonna help yourself

Come on, get up

Sure feels good

Keep your fingers off my money, don't try and pull me down

You're taking me out to wine and dine me

Trying to wind me round and around

Invite me to your little contract, ha!, ha!

Rumour has it that you could play dirty

I'll tell you what I'll do about that

I'm playing at the wrong game, yeah!

If you can't beat them, join them

You'd better do it because it makes you feel good

If you can't beat them, join them

You're never gonna help yourself

That's good, play it again

If you can't beat them, join them you'd better do it

Because it makes you feel good

If you can't beat them, join them

It's everyone for themselves

Move on out
