It is heads I lose, and tails you win,
That is a bad situation.
For me, not you. That is very true,
I'm not used to this citation.

I think about this, how come this mess?
When I for one try to impress,
By being honest and so loyal.
Yet now it's me - in fancy dress!

People laugh about my simpleness,
Though I'm a colourful fellow.
Naiveness is not my real weakness,
But to trust completely is so!

Once bitten, twice shy, people do say.
If only I'd learn that today.
Maybe then I'd live in peaceful bliss
Without noise. Not even a hiss.

Therefore to learn and master the ride,
A priority, I shouldn't hide.
Then it's heads I win and tails you lose.
Nah ! Still a bad situation.

So compromise, it is worth the while
Doubles my joy, or halves my woe.
For life's the ride I should enjoy
Rather then the destination.
