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
