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
wondering when you'll make some sort of decision
to let me in or to let me go
I 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
-Mary Chapin Carpenter
