You Can Win If You Want
Modern Talking Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Left and never looking back
Rings on your fingers, paint on your toes
Music where ever you go
You don't fit in a smalltown world
But I feel you're the girl for me
Rings on your fingers, paint on your toes
You're leaving town where nobody knows
You can win if you want
If you want it, you will win
On your way you will see that life is more than fantasy
Take my hand, follow me
Oh, you've got a brand new friend for your life
You can win if you want
If you want it you will win
Oh, come on, take a chance for a brand new wild romance
Take my hand for the night
And your feelings will be right, hold me tight
Oh, darkness finds you on your own
Endless highways keep on rolling on
You're miles and miles from your home
But you never want to phone your home
A steady job and a nice young man
Your parents had your future planned
Rings on your finger, paint on your toes
That's the way your story goes
You can win if you want
If you want it, you will win
On your way you will see that life is more than fantasy
Take my hand, follow me
Oh, you've got a brand new friend for your life
You can win if you want
If you want it you will win
Oh, come on, take a chance for a brand new wild romance
Take my hand for the night
And your feelings will be right, hold me tight
You can win if you want
If you want it you will win
Oh, come on, take a chance for a brand new wild romance
Take my hand for the night
And your feelings will be right

You left with all your belongings in a bag
Left and never looking back
You moved on without regret
Rings on your fingers, paint on your toes

You bring music with you wherever you travel
You don't fit in a smalltown world
You don't belong in a small, localized community
But I feel you're the girl for me
I think that you and I are meant to be together
You're leaving town where nobody knows
You're departing a place where you're not recognized

You're miles and miles from your home
You're far away from your place of origin
But you never want to phone your home
You don't want to call your family
A steady job and a nice young man
You have a stable profession and a good partner
Your parents had your future planned
Your family had predetermined plans for your life
That's the way your story goes
That's the course your life has taken
Oh, come on, take a chance for a brand new wild romance
Be daring and initiate a new passionate relationship
Take my hand for the night
Allow me to accompany you for the evening
And your feelings will be right, hold me tight
You will feel content if you embrace me closely
