(mary-chapin carpenter)
IĄŻm 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 youĄŻre there
And i just start crying ĄŽcause it makes no sense
to waste these words and twenty-five cents
on a losing game
baby you win again
IĄŻve been turning it over and over again
like a stone iĄŻm waiting to wish on
iĄŻve been holding my breath just wondering when
youĄŻll make some sort of decision
to let me in or let me go
iĄŻll always lose if i never know
where i fit in
baby you win again
I canĄŻt be right if iĄŻm always wrong
i canĄŻt stand up if iĄŻm 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 thereĄŻs never a look a word or a note
at the bitter end
baby you win again
I canĄŻt be right if iĄŻm always wrong
i canĄŻt stand up if iĄŻm 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
