SINGER: Mary Chapin Carpenter

SONG: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
