You Win -- I Lose - Lyrics by Sayer Leo


Lyrics
Alan Tarney & Leo Sayeryou win -- I losethat's how it all beginswell I try so hard in these affairs of the heartbut I know that I'll never winwell I talk to you sweet like honeydon't I treat you as nice as piebut I can't figure out when you scream and you shoutwhy I have to apologizeyou win -- I losethat's how it always goes
I came into this thing with my heart in a spin
I went out with a broken noseyou win -- I losethat's how it's meant to bewell I tried all I can just to figure it outbut love's just mysteryguess all you ladies would call me easybut I'm a fool for the femme fatalewhen she flashes those eyes I'm not a man I'm a mousetryin' to patch up a broken heartyou win -- I losethat's okay that's the way it goeswell I tried all I could but it did me no good'cos all I've got is nothin' to showthey say that men are always supposed to actlike they're not really tryin'but when I come on cool nobody seems to noticeit's a mysteryit's a mystery to meyou 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 goodyou're more than a match for meand it don't make no sense to melove is still a mysteryit's just a mystery
