Leo Sayer You Win -- I Lose Lyrics

you win -- I losethat's how it all beginswell I try so hard in these affairs of the heartbut I know that I'll never win
well 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 apologize
you win -- I losethat's how it always goesI came into this thing with my heart in a spinI went out with a broken nose
you win -- I losethat's how it's meant to bewell I tried all I can just to figure it outbut love's just mystery
guess 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 heart
you 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 show
they 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 me
you see you win -- I loseI guess that's how we're meant to beI 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
