Stand Back
One key of her typewriter's 4 and the sign of percent
She says that it looks like the face of a former boyfriend
She once typed a whole page of those little noughts and fours
And one big x at the bottom meant 'over' of course
With a backbone of candy she's sitting behind her machine
Her eyes are as the stars in the sky and they're green
Tap tap tap with one finger on the same key
I know its the key of the dollar
She's looking at me
Don't think that it's easy
Don't think that it pleases me
In big hands
Of people who want i
You Win, I Lose
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
(chorus 1)
Like two ships in the night in foggy weather,
Just a waiting for fresh winds to blow.
Maybe we're loosing 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
chorus 1
(chorus 2)
Like two dopes in the boat, without a paddle
Just a wondering why it don't go
We could be loosing 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
chorus 1 + 2 (two times)
oh yeah yeah
oh yeah yeah
you win
