Writers: alan tarney & leo sayer
You win -- I lose
That's how it all begins
Well I try so hard in these affairs of the heart
But I know that I'll never win
Well I talk to you sweet like honey
Don't I treat you as nice as pie
But I can't figure out when you scream and you shout
Why I have to apologize
You win -- I lose
That's how it always goes
I came into this thing with my heart in a spin
I went out with a broken nose
You win -- I lose
That's how it's meant to be
Well I tried all I can just to figure it out
But love's just mystery
Guess all you ladies would call me easy
But I'm a fool for the femme fatale
When she flashes those eyes I'm not a man I'm a mouse
Tryin' to patch up a broken heart
You win -- I lose
That's okay that's the way it goes
Well I tried all I could but it did me no good'cos all I've got is nothin' to show
They say that men are always supposed to act
Like they're not really tryin'
But when I come on cool nobody seems to notice
It's a mystery
It's a mystery to me
You see you win -- I lose
I guess that's how we're meant to be
I tried as hard as I could but it did me no good
You're more than a match for me
And it don't make no sense to me
Love is still a mystery
It's just a mystery
