"You Win - I Lose" lyrics

Hmm, hmm-mm
Hmm-mm
Hmm-mm-mm

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 (you win), I lose (I lose)
That's how it always goes
I came into this thing with my heart in a spin (ooh)
I went out with a broken nose

You win (you win), I lose (I lose)
That's how it's meant to be
Well, I tried all I can just to figure it out (ooh)
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 (you win), I lose (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 (ooh)

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, yes, it's a mystery
Yes, it's a mystery to me

You see you win (you win), I lose (I lose)
That's just the way it goes
I came into this thing with my heart in a spin (ooh)
I went out with a broken nose

You win (you win), I lose (I lose)
I guess that's how we're meant to be
I tried as hard as I could, but it don't do 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

You win, I lose (love is a mystery)
You win (love is just a mystery)
I lose (love is just a mystery)
You win (love is all a mystery)
I lose (love is a mystery)
You win (love is a mystery)
