Текст Neal McCoy – Tails I Lose

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.»

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.

Either way, I lose, oh.
