When the World Says No

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Always on the outside looking in You thought you were finished, but you didn't begin That's what they tell you when you try to climb You got knocked down on the other side You started with nothing and you finish that way That's the way this game is played It's all designed to keep you out You were full of hope, and now you're full of doubt [Chorus] When you do your best and the world says "no" There's nothing you can do When you try real hard and the world says "no" There's nothing you can do When the world says "no" [Verse 2] You did what you needed to do But that didn't get you through You played by the rules of their game And thеy still didn't let you in [Chorus] You played by the rulеs and the world said "no" There's nothing you can do You tried real hard and the world said "no" There's nothing that you can do When the world says "no" [Outro] You played by the rules and the world said "no" There's nothing you can do You tried real hard and the world said "no" There's nothing that you can do When the world says "no" When the world says "no" You played by the rules and the world said "no" There's nothing you can do You tried real hard and the world said "no" There's nothing that you can do When the world says "no" When the world says "no" When the world says "no"
