Like a stone I’m waiting to wish on
In the middle of God knows where
To waste these words and twenty-five cents
And baby I felt the earth shake
I've been turning it over and over again
But baby I know you’re there
I can’t be right if I’m always wrong
You could show just a little feeling
I’ll always lose if I never know
At your altar or at your throne
For who I am, baby you win again
On a losing game, baby you win again
I’m standing here freezing at a phone booth baby
Songwriter: Mary Chapin Carpenter
And I just start crying ‘cause it makes no sense
I can’t stand up if I’m always kneeling
You’ll make some sort of decision
I can’t stand up if I’m always kneeling
I got one quarter left your machine packs up
Where I fit in, baby you win again
To let me in or to let me go

On the corner of a love and heartache
Last night I dreamed we were standing here
At your altar or at your throne
For who I am, baby you win again
You could show just a little feeling
At the bitter end, baby you win again
And I woke up trembling with my heart in my throat
You jumped into your car, you found first gear
Baby you win again, baby you win again
I’ve been holding my breath just wondering when
I can’t be right if I’m always wrong
'Cause there’s never a look a word or a note
