Michael Jackson - You Can't Win Lyrics
You can't win, you can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
People keep sayin' things are gonna change
But they look just like they're stayin' the same
And you only have yourself to blame
You can't win Child
(You can't win Child)
You ain't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't win, the world keeps movin'
And you're standin' far behind
People keep sayin', things'll get better
(Just to ease your state of mind)
(And you drink your glass of wine)
So you can't win, Child, you can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't win, you can't win no way
If your story stays the same, no, no
(You ain't winnin')
(But it's nice to see you)
(I'm awfully glad you came)
(Better cool it 'cause it ain't about losing')
Then the world has got no shame
You can't win, Child
You can't break even
You can't get out of the game
You can't win, you can't break even
Ain't the way it's supposed to be, no, no
(You'll be spendin')
(Your little bit of money)
While someone else rides for free, ooh
(Learn your lesson)
(Refuel your mind)
(Before some turkey blows out your flame)
You can't win, Child, no
You can't win
You can't win, Child, no
You can't win
You can't win, Child, no
You can't win
You can't win, Child, no
You can't win
You can't win, Child, you can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't get out of the game
You can't get out of the game, no, no

Michael Jackson You Can't Win Comments

You Can't Win by Stevie Wonder.
You Know....For A Minute There I Might Of Thought That It Was Stevie Wonder Who Is Singing It.
😍😍😍❤❤❤
5:49 oh love this laugh <3
That bass synth lead @3:13 is crazy!
This man is laughing n the song and killing it while doing it...only Michael Jackson
Speaking about the industry with devils....
They should have every artist listen to this jam before they pick they name on any contract. Professor and Doctor Michael Jackson is giving class in this jam.
I can't believe I never heard this one before, it's SO good!
The song is HOT after 3:23...What a groove! MIKE!!!!!!(RIP) and Q!
This man's voice ❤❤❤
Whos listing in 2019 and 2020
👑🥀🥀🥀😢😢😢😭😭
Leaving NeverLand theme song
My new theme song!!!🤔🤔🤔
God DAMN , this is funky!
This is so ahead of its time, it's ridiculous. It SLAPS so hard. Also when he laughs towards end my heart just goes 💔
R.I.P. MJ 1958-2009.
3:09 and after jst sends tornadoes thru me & kills me dead

Michael Jackson feed me 🍼

Accept Jesus. Then you win. It's the long game strategy, and the world ain't gonna win it
Yess Michael change my mood every time 😂
3:17
I Love Funky Bass Rhythm ♥
This 🔥
That's how I feel right now
I love this song this song makes me wanna dance all day
The Wiz may be some what scary but the music, well almost them is just too good. Even this version of you can’t win
2019!!!You can't win child.
Still listening in 2019? ^_^
Mask Raider yeahh!
Românaş de-al meu😊
this makes me so happy herring this song because i miss my cast of the wiz it was so much
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG VERY AWESOME
Put this on Spotify if the Jackson family accepts it
Joya de Dios para deleitar los oidos 😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
How many of you knew that he was talking about the Illuminati?
whos sad he died
i have a tremendous respect for michael jackson.
MY BROTHER, I AM SPECHELLSS MICHAEL I LOVE YOU
Who’s winning by listening 2019?..🎶💃🏽
He did that sh%t!! Vocally , this cant be matched
Say it again..
Sounds like a Wurli and a clavinet
First of all!! I heard this version on satellite radio about 7 years ago, almost ran off the road. It’s SO FUNKY! That bass line! Those harmonized scats! I can’t find this version on any streaming platform!
That’s from the wiz 😸😁
His voice/ singing was at its peak ,from 15 to 29
I'll never forget I suggested to do the wiz for one of my highschool plays and my white drama teacher had this look on her face then I asked her if I could sing Michael's part ...her and her assistant was like "we wouldn't be able to have enough people " but we had so many black students wanting to come audition for it .I guess they just didn't want it as an option .
Next time, Rae, launch the show yourself; then mad publicize it and book standing room only, and then cc her the reviews once it's over. Never accept no for an answer. That's heaven's way of saying produce it yourself.
What smoke are they smoking!!!!
This is kind of creepy listing to the lyrics😨
About not winning?? Facing disappointment?? That's creepy to you?? Get your dumbass out of here🤡🤦🏾♂️🖕🏿🖕🏿
Plus it's a subtle jab about the entertainment industry in general, so if your stupid ass got anything other than that from the song, then sorry for you 🤷🏾♂️🖕🏿🖕🏿
I cant Find it on Spotify.. does anyone know how i can find it??
Still listening 3.23.19
Ever since I seen the Wiz for the first time when I was younger, this was my favorite song
Get out of the game! The beginning of the song was bad news but instead of them singing "you can't get out of the game" by the end they were strongly singing "get out of the game" Every song Michael sang was a message!!!
❤️ I love you ❤️ Michael ❤️
🤟🏾🤘🏼👑🎶מייקל אוהבים אותך מלך הפופ מושלםם שכמוך ❤️😍❤️👑❣️
One of the few songs that I can listen all day long repeatedly
100000000000000000 x 10000000000000000....100000000000000 x 20000000000000000 LIKE!!!
Michael been trying to warn us about how screwed up the world is
Yep you're most certainly right, just listen to his Earth Song....it came out in 1995
Sounds like life
WHY’D HE HAVE TO GOOO?!?!??!!!!🥺🥺😫😫😢😢😭😭😭😭
Who watching in 2019
2019??????
It's gonna get better...2019

Thank you God for giving us Michael for as long you did! He was a blessing to the world!
This is memorable😏
3:09 me: mAmA cAlL tHe aBuLaNcE
wiz is all i’d watch when i was little 😂 bc my grandma .. it is sooo good !!!
A hidden message
I'm so lucky to find this...👑👑👑
i miss himmm
I listen to this version of the song just for the bass line!! From the 3:11 mark until the end, it's unbelievably ridiculous!!
*_Bass slap_*
All of his songs were amazing, but "You Can't Win" is definitely in my top 10 favourite songs by him! What a King, love you Michael!
Does 1:39 give anybody else chills?!
I like this version, but The Oz version is so much more funky!
you can't win, can't get outta the game, can't get outta the rain, billie jean
This was posted on my 10th birthday so thanks for giving my 10 year old self the greatest gift ever 😊❤
Me.
At the 1:00 mark: “Wow, this song is really long.”
At the 6:00 mark: “ONE. MORE. HOUR!”
Yep! Me too.
I think someone else commented this in Sven Nelson’s video
GREAT song! And I didn't expect anything less from MJ.
Michael Jackson I'm your fan 😢😢😢😢
The Wiz Real movie... Yep
"And the world ain't got no shame"
I'm going watch the wiz and eat popcorn and drink pop and I'm going some piazz 👑🍦🍮🍭🍬🍫🍰🍤🍲🍱🍘🍙🍚🍛🍜🍝🍠🍪🍷🌠🌠🌠🕯
I'm going. Watch the wiz all day long I love the king of pop👑🇧🇴💡
I like your comment 500000 times if I could
I can't of get out game 🍼
He’s talking about the Illuminati
Diana Ross & Michael Jackson Are On The Wiz
Pretty much my anthem at this point in my life😭😂
Miracle McDonald oml 😭 i was just saying this
mine too...
You too?
I remember the second half of the song was released as "Can't Get Outta The Rain" as a B-side
Yes! Can't Get Outta The Rain (known as Can't Get Out of the Game) it was part of You Can't Win home demo. But it was reworked to be part of the album Thriller, changing vocals, that as soon as MJ spoke "game" they changed to "rain" ... But it was discarded for the album, and used as the B-side of Billie Jean's single The Girl Is Mine and Thriller.
