You Win Again

(mary-chapin carpenter)

I'm standing here freezing at a phone booth baby

In the middle of god knows where

I got one quarter left your machine packs up

But baby i know you're there

And i just start crying ＆cause it makes no sense

To waste these words and twenty-five cents

On a losing game

Baby you win again

I've been turning it over and over again

Like a stone i'm waiting to wish on

I've been holding my breath just wondering when

You'll make some sort of decision

To let me in or let me go

I'll always lose if i never know

Where i fit in

Baby you win again

I can't be right if i'm always wrong

I can't stand up if i'm always kneeling

At your altar or at your throne

You could show just a little feeling

For who i am

Baby you win again

Last night i dreamed we were standing here

On the corner of love and heartache

You jumped into your car you found first gear

And baby i felt the earth shake

And i woke up trembling with my heart in my throat

'cause there's never a look a word or a note

At the bitter end

Baby you win again

I can't be right if i'm always wrong

I can't stand up if i'm always kneeling

At your altar or at your throne

You could show just a little feeling

For who i am

Baby you win again

Baby you win again

Baby you win again
