Lyrics by Wayne Beauchamp, Music by Ron Sayer Jnr. Copyright Control.
You win, I lose, where did I go astray,
you packed you bags and then went on your way
Why didn’t you let me know before, that you don’t give a damn no more
You win, I lose and that’s the price I have to pay
You took my money, went and spent it all,
you bent the rules but I tried to keep my cool
She’ll come back I told myself, but it’s been so long since the day you left
You win, I lose, man what a trustin’ fool
And I used to think it was my imagination
Now I know the truth but I don’t know why
You put me in this sorry situation
You win, I lose and it’s too late to cry
You really don’t love me, I think I know that by now,
cause if you did then you’d be comin’ round
I’ve nothing left for you to take, I trusted you that’s my mistake
Nothin’ left but the streets of this lonely town.
