Les paroles de la chanson
« You win - i lose »
Leo Sayer

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
And 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 apologise
You win - I lose
That’s how it always goes
I came into this thing with my heart in a spin
I went out with a broken nose
You win - I lose
That’s how it’s meant to be
Well I tried all I can just figure it out
But love’s just a 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 - I lose
That’s OK, that’s the way it goes
Well I tried all I could but it did me no good
’Cos all I’ve got is nothin’ to show
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 to me
Yes it’s a mystery, yes it’s a mystery
Yes it’s a mystery to me
You see you win - I lose
That’s just the way it goes
I came into this thing with my heart in a sling
I went out with a broken nose

[Solo]

You win - I lose
I guess that’s how we’re meant to be
I tried as hard as I could but it did me 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
Love is a mystery
