Tails I Lose - Neal McCoy

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
