You Win Again Lyrics - Mary Chapin Carpenter

(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 picks up
but baby I know you're there.

And I just start cryin' ‘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 to 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 in 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.
