Mary Chapin Carpenter - You Win Again

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
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
