Fate decreed I'd be a loser
The very minute I was born
Why can't I be a winner
For a moment now and then
You dress in style for attention
Make advances to all my friends
I've heard strangers mention
Your name and where we live
Fate threw me a curve ball
And I knew I'd lost again
I struck out no home run
The night that I met Jean
I buy her clothes and jewels
I'm just another of her fools
Jumping rope on a freeway
Would be safer than loving you
Chorus
Tell me those lies once more
The ones that keep me here
It's what I want you to say
Tell me what I want to hear
Fate decided to forsake me
Every time I hoped to win
Though she knows how I feel
I knew that I'd lose Jean
I could see she wasn't mine
Someone else was on her mind
Another name on her trophy wall
And I'm heading for a fall
Fate dealt me a low card
And I know I'll never win
I didn't really have a chance
From the moment I met Jean
Abused used ex a has been
I hoped she'd share my name
But I'll wake up every day
Loving her from now till then
Chorus
F. C.
Tell me those lies once more
G. F c
The ones that keep me here
It's what I want you to say
Tell me what I want to hear
