Life is a game, it's a
And the only way you can participate in it
Is you have to get involved
With all your heart and soul
Your mind, oh, your mind
Is such a great thing, use it, use it
The positive has to overtake the negative
And no matter what people may say to you
Believe me, you have to get involved
In the game of life
Things don't always go the way you want 'em to
But hang in there
Don't be afraid, no matter what they say
You gotta take a chance at life
And you don't know how far you can go
And you won't know until you try
Set your sights for better things in life
And work for them hard as you can
Patience is key, it always sets you free
It's all about your master plan
People, sometimes
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Sometimes some things are so hard to do
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Sometimes some things are so hard to do
Make your move, be careful what you chose
You gonna reap what you sow
Make no mistake, you've got what it takes
And all it's gonna take is you
Patience is key, it always sets you free
And you can make it if you try
Don't waste time makin' up your mind
It's your choice, it's your life
Listen to me, people
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
And sometimes some things are so hard to do
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
And sometimes some things are so hard to do
They say that the mind
Is a terrible, terrible thing to waste
And so it's time, and it's time
That you made up your mind
About what you wanna do in life
Different strokes for different folks
We're all in this together
And what you have to realize is that
You can't always win and you can't always lose
Just sometimes, sometimes you do
Listen to me, people
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
And sometimes some things are so hard to do
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
And sometimes some things are so hard to do
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
And sometimes some things are so hard to do
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Crebbe nei quartieri meridionali di Los Angeles; membro di una gang a dieci anni, a diciassette fu messo in prigione per un grosso furto di pneumatici. Terminata la detenzione, all'inizio degli anni sessanta iniziò ad esibirsi dapprima in gruppo poi come solista con poca fortuna, mentre riuscì ad avere un qualche successo come autore. Nel 1969 mise insieme un gruppo di tre cantanti donne chiamato Love Unlimited. Nato come risposta al leggendario gruppo delle Supremes, nei due anni successivi, con White nella veste di autore dei brani, arrangiatore e produttore, il gruppo riuscì ad avere un contratto con la 20th Century Fox Records e a piazzare in classifica la ballata soul Walking in the Rain (With The One I Love). Il gruppo crebbe in fama nella decade successiva e White sposò la prima voce, Glodean James. Fu lavorando ad alcuni demo che la casa discografica gli propose di cantare egli stesso, invece che di limitarsi a produrre canzoni per altri. Tra i suoi successi - che hanno fatto ballare miliardi di romantici lenti ed innamorare tanti giovani in tutto il mondo, per via della sua calda e pastosa voce - si annoverano, tra gli altri, I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby (1973), Never, Never Gonna Give You Up (1973), Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe (1974), You're the First, the Last, My Everything (1974), What Am I Gonna Do With You (1975), Let the Music Play (1976), Your Sweetness is My Weakness (1978), Change (1982), Sho' You Right (1987) e Practice What You Preach (1994). Il concerto del 1998, live nel Central Park di New York con Luciano Pavarotti, è stato il secondo evento musicale visto da più di un miliardo di persone in mondovisione (il primo evento musicale trasmesso in mondovisione e visto da ben 1 miliardo e mezzo di persone fu l'Aloha from Hawaii di Elvis Presley del 1973). Cronicamente iperteso per diverso tempo, anche a causa della sua notevole mole, subisce un blocco renale nell'autunno del 2002 ed un infarto nel 2003 che lo costringe a ritirarsi dalle scene. Muore all'età di 58 anni il 4 luglio 2003 per un altro blocco renale presso il Cedars-Sinai Medical Center di West Hollywood. Barry White era stato anche uno dei doppiatori di Coonskin, cartone animato diretto da Ralph Bakshi. Una sua autobiografia, Barry White: Love Unlimited, è stata scritta insieme a Marc Eliot e pubblicata nel 1999.
