Foot Loose Lyrics - Tom Scullin

I'm trying to be foot loose 

With no ropes to tie me down 

But when I get the chance to leave 

I want to stay in town 

And it's the same old story again 

I'm looking for a real love 

Searching everywhere 

But when I find she's getting close 

I run away from there 

And it's the same old story again 

Chorus 

You can't win for losing 

You can't dream for waking 

You can't go for braking 

and your brain just bounces on walls 

I'm running round at full speed 

Trying to get somewhere 

But when I finally get close 

I don't even care 

And it's the same old story again 

I'm walking on a mountain slope 

Heading for the top 

Instead of looking uphill 

I'm scared I'm going to drop 

And it's the same old story again 

Chorus 

You can't win for losing 

You can't dream for waking 

You can't go for braking 

and your brain just bounces on walls 

Well, I opened up my big mouth 

Trying to make them see 

But why should they care 

When it doesn't matter to me 

And It's the same old story again 

Chorus 

You can't win for losing 

You can't dream for waking 

You can't go for braking 

and your brain just bounces on walls
