Honey, I know that you've
been in a sad situation
But here am I with this little
bit of in formation
Life is like a seesaw
with it s ups and downs
One moment you're up and about,
the other you're down to
the ground
Existence, babe,
has always been a constant struggle
Honey, I know it
And you've got to be armed
against every obstacle
To forget about reminiscin'
or lookin' behind
Honey, I know it
Of these few words
you should be substantially in mind
That, you have simply lost the battle
You have lost the battle
But you haven't lost the war
You have lost the battle, babe
You have lost the battle
You haven't lost the war
Sometimes you need some kind of inspiration,
babe
To help the tiring mind get along
But let me tell you it's a
competitive world
Where the fittest earn survival
So the quality of your production
is so doggone vital
Without the bad times,
there certainly ain't gonna
be no good times at all
And if you've got a chance to rise,
why not you get a chance to fall
Forget about the difficulties
that you could face from day to day
And remember the sim
ple words that I say
You have simply lost the battle
But you haven't lost the war
You have lost the battle, girl,
but you haven't lost the war.
You have lost the battle, babe
You have lost the war
You have lost the battle, babe
You have lost the war
Baby, you have lost the battle, baby
But you haven't lost the war
