VERSE

You Win, I Lose

Supertramp

You Win, I Lose

Song bySupertramp

in AlbumSome Things Never Change

You win, I lose

I beg, you choose

You're so cool and I'm confused

I'm me and you're you

You're so loose and I'm uptight

You're day, I'm night

Like two ships in the night in foggy weather,

Just a waitin' for fresh winds to blow.

Maybe we're losin' one another

I could be wrong I don't know

You get the best, I get the rest

You pass the test, I'm just a mess

You got it made, I'm in the shade

Like two ships in the night ...

Like two dopes in the boat, without a paddle

Just a wonderin' why it don't go

We could be losin' one another

I could be wrong I don't know I know you're tryin' to phase me

It's gonna drive me crazy

I can't wait for the day when

I win, You lose

You beg and I choose

You're in the shade, I'm on parade

Like two ships in the night ...
