You Win -- I Lose
Writers: alan tarney & leo sayer
You win -- I lose
Thats how it all begins
Well I try so hard in these affairs of the heart
But I know that Ill never win
Well I talk to you sweet like honey
Dont I treat you as nice as pie
But I cant figure out when you scream and you shout
Why I have to apologize
You win -- I lose
Thats how it always goes
I came into this thing with my heart in a spin
I went out with a broken nose
You win -- I lose
Thats how its meant to be
Well I tried all I can just to figure it out
But loves just mystery
Guess all you ladies would call me easy
But Im a fool for the femme fatale
When she flashes those eyes Im not a man Im a mouse
Tryin to patch up a broken heart
You win -- I lose
Thats okay thats the way it goes
Well I tried all I could but it did me no good
cos all Ive got is nothin to show
They say that men are always supposed to act
Like theyre not really tryin
But when I come on cool nobody seems to notice
Its a mystery
Its a mystery to me
You see you win -- I lose
I guess thats how were meant to be
I tried as hard as I could but it did me no good
Youre more than a match for me
And it dont make no sense to me
Love is still a mystery
Its just a mystery

You Cant Lose A Broken Heart
James p. johnson / flournoy e. miller
Dont lose your head
Then lose your guy
You cant lose a broken heart
If you ever break up
Then try to make up
Its tough to make a brand new start
Take a walk
Think it over
While strolling neath the moon
Dont say things in december
Youll regret in june
Ware your remark
Before you speak
Or you may be sorry soon,
Dont be eratic
Be diplomatic
To keep your hearts in tune
Cruel harsh words
Often spoken
Will upset your applecart
So dont lose your head
Then lose your guy
Cus, you cant lose a broken heart
No, you cant lose a broken heart!

Let me honey and Ill catch your tears
Ill take your sorrow if you want me to
Come tomorrow

You come home late and get undressed
You lie in bed and feel this emptiness
Well listen to me

Until the suns torn from the sky
Till every feel youve felt burst free
Gone tumblin down into the sea

Its A Mystery
Words and music by bob seger
Its a mystery
How the heart beats
How the sun shines
How our eyes meet
Its a mystery
Lts a wonder
How we keep from
Sinking under
Its a mystery
All the nonsense
Set before us
Supposed to shock us
But it bores us
All the ennui
All the replays
All the rewrites
All the cant says
Its a mystery
Electron guns fire images
They end in interstellar space
Within the year
And through it all
We dance and starve and
Burn and clear
Its a mystery
How they con us
How they sneak til
Theyre upon us
All the anchors
With their helmets
Getting ratings
With their zealots
All the pundits
All the salesmen
Setting snake oil
To the nation
All the specials
Every rerun
All the penguins
Getting well-done
Its a mystery
Its a mystery
How the heart beats
How the sun shines
How our eyes meet
Its a mystery
Its a wonder
How we ever
Find each other
Its a mystery

I Dont Wanna Lose Her
Stock/aitken/waterman
I dont wanna lose her
I dont wanna lose her
They told me that she had found somebody new
But I dont believe it
They said I would soon find out she was untrue
But I just cant see it
Maybe I am wrong to doubt it
And now that I think about it
If ever I lost her love
Id be nothing, nothing without it
I dont wanna lose her, lose that girl
After all that weve been through
I dont wanna lose her, lose that girl of mine
(lose that girl of mine)
I couldnt imagine life without her love
I just couldnt take it
If you wanted to know how well I would get on
I dont think Id make it
Maybe I just dont show her
And now that I think its over
I maybe should shout about it
cos Id be nothing, nothing without it
I dont wanna lose her, lose that girl
After all that weve been through
I dont wanna lose her, lose that girl of mine
(lose that girl of mine)
Im gonna make a new start
And bring her back to my heart
cos what I found out about her
I just cannot live without her
Maybe I just dont show her
And now that I think its over
I maybe should shout about it
cos Id be nothing, nothing without it

Fight Test
I thought I was smart - I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight - I thought there was a
Virtue in always being cool - so when it came time to
Fight I thought I'll just step aside and that time would
Prove you wrong and that you would be the fool -
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Light begins it's all a mystery
Oh to fight is to defend if it's not
Now than tell me when would be the time that you would stand up
And be a man - for to lose I could accept but to surrender
I just wet and regretted this moment - oh that I - I
Was the fool
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Light begins it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
Own life - it's all a mystery
Cause I'm a man not a boy and there are things
You can't avoid you have to face them when you're not prepared
To face them -
If I could I would but you're with him now it'd do no good
I should have fought him but instead I let him - I let
Him take it -
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Light begins it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
Own life - it's all a mystery

You Can't Lose At Love (Crush Demo)
You can lose at cards
You can lose your keys
You can lose the house or lose the lease
You can lose your car, you can lose the race
You can lose your mind or lose your faith
Take a look around and hear what I've gotta say
You can't lose at love
No, you can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
Chose anything you can dream of
No, you can't lose at love
We could lose the plot
Or we could lose our way
But I ain't going to lose
These ain't good games we're playing
Let me make you an offer too good to refuse
No, you can't lose at love
No, you can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
Chose anything you can dream of
But you can't lose at love
Now we just might roll a seven, these ain't loaded dice
We'll never get to heaven from this driveway tonight
You've heard a million promises that's never come through
Baby I'm telling you we're due
You can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
Chose anything you can dream of
But baby, you can't lose at love
Take a chance on me
Cause you can't lose at love
Take a chance on me
No, you can't lose at love
Take a chance on me
You can't lose at love
No, you can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
You can't lose
You can't lose

Shes A Mystery To Me
(david evans, paul hewson)
Darkness falls & she will take me by the hand
Take me to some twilight land
Where all but love is grey
Where time just slips away
Without her as my guide
Night falls Im cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes our heavens torn to hell
Am I left to burn
And burn eternally
Shes a mystery to me
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
In the night of love words tangled in her hair
Words soon to disappear
A love so sharp it cuts like switchblade to my heart
Words tearing me apart
She tears again my bleeding heart
I want to run shes pulling me apart
Fallen angel cries
Then I just melt away
Shes a mystery to me
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Haunted by her side the darkness in her eyes
But that so enslaves me
If my love is blind then I dont want to see
Shes a mystery to me
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl

You Didn't Have As Much To Lose
I can't believe it's come to this
Two broken hearts, one goodbye kiss
Is this all that's left of me and you
You seem to take it all in stride
While I'm crumbling inside
Letting go is hard for me to do
But if all my love is easy to refuse
Then I guess you just don't have as much to lose
'Cause I'm losing everything that ever meant anything
How can all of our yesterdays mean nothing to you
If all my love's so easy to refuse
Then I guess you just don't have as much to lose
If all my love's so easy to refuse
Then I guess you just don't have as much to lose
I can't believe it's come to this
Two broken hearts, one goodbye kiss

Sweet Mystery - Song Lyrics
Walked into a store
Started talkin' bout the Lord
The people told me to leave
Didn't want to hear it anymore
So I walked away dismayed
They thought they were being played
But little do they know
With Him they'll have it made!
Chorus:
Did you ever wonder
Why things happen as they do
The puzzle pieces don't fit
It's the old that makes things new
Cause He takes what is broken
Gets everything all fixed
Does it simply with love
He don't use any tricks
What a sweet mystery!
When I was back in school
I always acted like a fool
People thought that I was messed
But I thought that I was cool
When I got a little older
I started getting colder
Life started getting tough
I never used His shoulder
I tried to do it all myself
Threw my problems on the shelf
Hoped they would just go away
Wasn't good for my health
Chorus X 2
Did I plant one of your seeds?
Can You tell me when it grows?
Can You let me in on your plan?
Are You the only one that knows?
Do you want to keep me guessing?
Are you going to use him too?
Is this all a part of Your will?
Is this what you called me to do?
Chorus
What a sweet mystery!
What a sweet mystery!
Was blind but now I see
It's such a sweet mystery
What a sweet mystery!
What a sweet mystery!
Was blind but now I see
It's such a sweet mystery
It's such a sweet mystery
It's such a sweet mystery

Dont Lose Your Temper
Dont lose your temper
Dont lose your temper
Dont lose your temper
cos I love you when youre wild
Dont lose your temper
Dont lose your temper
Dont lose your temper
cos Id hate you to grow mild
Since you took that job with a company
Youve changed so much you just wont recognise me
They have you dressed up like a secretary
You mustnt change the things that make you what you are
Since youve been listening to that linguaphone
Youre speaking in a voice that is not your own
Im not sure if its you when I call home
You mustnt change the things that make you what you are
Whatever happened to my fighting, biting, lightning lioness
Little girl, little girl, little girl, little girl
I think I preferred it when your hair was in a mess
Brittle girl, brittle girl
Theyre not your real curls
Dont lose it
Dont lose it
Dont lose it
Dont lose it

Do The Right Thing
Once you told me you were gonna love me
That it was meant to be and theres no other way
Then came someone showed you more fun
Weve had a good run better think it over
Do the right thing baby do the right thing
Go with your heart and do the right thing
Hes got a good line, shows you a good time
Did he change your mind guess its your move
Ill lose my pride Id even step aside
Honey you really must decide whos best for you
Do the right thing baby do the right thing
Go with your heart and do the right thing
Do the right thing baby do the right thing
Go with your heart and do the right thing
You might chose me or chose to lose me
Someday youll see the good thing you had
Do the right thing baby do the right thing
Go with your heart and do the right thing
Do the right thing baby do the right thing
Go with your heart and do the right thing
Go with your heart and do the right thing

Darkness falls and she
Will take me by the hand

Nothin More To Lose
Get out of that house,
Stop watching t.v.
Have you heard the news,
Well theres a new world here,
And its staring straight at you,
Dont want no politics,
Religion too.
Theyve got nothing left to prove,
Well my hearts beatin rhythm,
And my soul keeps singin the blues,
I know we can make it happen,
Anytime we want it to,
I know we can make it happen,
Now its all up to you.
Chorus
We got nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose.
Were so proud of our intellect,
Arrogant selfish fools
Who can look no further than,
A bunch of separative rules.
Well if were all so clever and technology
Rules,
Why is it were so scared.
I got a rockin psychosis,
And my juke box blown a fuse.
Dont look theres someone watching,
Though theyre many light years away.
Dont stop,
They may be listening to every single word
You say.
Chorus
Nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose.
Can you feel something strange in your
Heart,
In your brain,
But its not what you think.
Youre just waking out of sleep.
Chorus
Nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose.
I know we can make it happen,
Anytime we want it to,
I know we can make it happen,
Now its all up to you.
Chorus
You got nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose.
Can you feel something strange in your

Who Are We Trying To Fool?
Iris
I like to think my heart is just a muscle
A muscle that Ive learned to control
I figured, hell, one harmless midnight tussle
With you would rest quite easy on my soul
Now I see youre a tres, tres goddamn charmer
An actress is taught to be cool
But who am I trying to fool?
Paperman
Id like to toast your firm determination
But human natures got the best of me
Ive never forced myself upon a lady
Iris
Youre about as subtle as artillery
Paperman
Ive been here before and I have to admit
That I cant keep my cool
Who are we trying to fool?
Who are we trying to fool?
Paperman dont look for me to be your savior
Iris no good can come from this behavior
Sheila
This aint no mystery, look at our history
Its just another wild caribbean night
The rum and drums just bring out whats in us
Temptations been here since that very first bite
Who are they tryin to fool?
Who are they tryin to fool?
They should forget it, theyll both regret it
He wants a push, she needs a shove
Hes got a good wife, she hides a dark life
Fuel for combustion ? anger and love
Who are they tryin to fool?
Who are they tryin to fool?
Who are they tryin to fool?
Paperman
Life is for most of us one long postponement
Iris
If we think too much I guess well miss our chance
Paperman
Its our time, our night, our island, not our future
Iris its not the whole tamale, just one dance
Duet
So who are we trying to fool?
Who are we trying to fool?
Lets break all of those goddamn kinja rules

Until The End Of Time
When I was young and the world belonged to me
I thought that love meant pain and jealousy
It was a cross on my shoulder
Oh lord, now I feel so much older, oooh, oooh
Time had a way of making me see
My lonely life has taken its toll on me
Now I feel the emptiness
And I dont want to live like this
Now Ive heard stories, Ive heard songs
Telling me believe my heart dont wait too long
But words they dont ring true
Until there was you
Never will I lose this hearts desire
Ever will I feed our loves fire
Only when I know that youll be mine
Until the end of time
How do I trust what Im beginning to feel?
How deep my soul, how much can I reveal?
Im lost in loves mystery
Caught between time and eternity
Now theres a door that opens wide
Slowly I will find my way and reach inside
But I couldnt make it through
Until there was you
Never will I lose this hearts desire
Ever will I feed our loves fire
Only when I know that youll be mine
And only when I see the light of love shine
Until the end of time
Never will I lose this hearts desire
Ever will I feed our loves fire
Only when I know that youll be mine
And only when I see the light of love shine
Never will I lose this hearts desire
Ever will I feed our loves fire
And when I see the light of love shine
In your eyes when they meet mine
Only then Ill know its you and i
Until the end of time
