You Win - I Lose

You Win - I Lose - Leo Sayer

(LP Version) - Leo Sayer

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 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 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 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 trying

But when I come on cool

Nobody seems to notice

It's a mystery 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

You win I lose

I guess that's how we're meant to be

I tried as hard as I could

But it don't do 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 love is just a mystery

Love is just a mystery

Love is all a mystery

(You win)
