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
