Sayer Leo - You Win -- I Lose lyrics

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 'Cause 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
