Tails I Lose lyrics

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
