Tails I Lose lyrics

She says her mind is made up.
She`s fought the feelin`s long enough.
She can`t find love or herself in her heart.
Says: "We got together way too young."
An` then there`s me here still in love,
Watchin` the ties that bind us fallin` apart.

First she asks for freedom an` she says that she`s leavin`.
I say no `cause I need her, then down comes the hammer.
When I can`t take her, I say I`ll sign the papers.
She cries an` she won`t take "Yes" for an answer:
How am I supposed to choose,
When it`s heads she wins, tails I lose.
Yeah.

She bought some little dresses an` got a big tattoo.
Says I don`t understand what she`s goin` through:
Maybe middle-age crazy or just tired of us.
An` maybe I`m foolish tryin` to make it work,
But I made this promise: "For better or worse",
An` I`d do anything to make her happy, if I just knew what it was.

First she asks for freedom an` she says that she`s leavin`.
I say no `cause I need her, then down comes the hammer.
When I can`t take her, I say I`ll sign the papers.
She cries an` she won`t take "Yes" for an answer:
How am I supposed to choose,
When it`s heads she wins, tails I lose.

I`ve worked so hard, (He`s worked so hard.)
Tried so long:
It`s like everything I do is wrong.

First she asks for freedom an` she says that she`s leavin`.
I say no `cause I need her, then down comes the hammer.
When I can`t take her, I say I`ll sign the papers.
She cries an` she won`t take "Yes" for an answer:
How am I supposed to choose,
When it`s heads she wins, tails I lose.
How am I supposed to choose,
When it`s heads she wins, tails I lose.

Either way, I lose, oh.
