Leo Sayer - 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 And 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 apologise 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 figure it out But love's just a 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 OK, 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 Yes it's a mystery to me Yes it's a mystery, yes it's a mystery Yes it's a mystery to me You see you win - I lose That's just the way it goes I came into this thing with my heart in a sling I went out with a broken nose [Solo] 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, no Love is still a mystery It's just a mystery Love is a mystery
