You Win Again Lyrics

You Win Again lyrics

(Mary-Chapin Carpenter)

Im 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 youre 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

Ive been turning it over and over
again
Like a stone Im waiting to wish on
Ive been holding my breath just
wondering when
Youll make some sort of decision
To let me in or let me
go
Ill always lose if I never know
Where I fit in
Baby you win
again

I cant be right if Im always wrong
I cant stand up if Im 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 theres never a look a word or
a note
At the bitter end
Baby you win again

I cant be right if Im
always wrong
I cant stand up if Im 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
