|
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
|
