Lyrics of 'Always Lose' by Lydia Loveless

Well your man, sure does look good
In those cowboy boots
And the way he does his hair
Is just turning me on
And I saw him staring at me
But don't worry none
'Cause tonight's good times
Will end in the morning
That the shit is gone

Don't get upset
It's gonna be alright
Because he'll be staggering home to you
Before the night is through
So I guess I could try
To take him from you
But don't bother watching your back
Because I always lose

So don't be making stories up
In that head of yours
You can tell them to your friends
That I'm nothing but a whore
I'll just pick myself up laughing
Like I've always done
'Cause the lover I was with tonight
Was from the corner store

So don't get so mad
An try and hunt me down
See he isn't worth having a fight
An I've been through

So I guess I could try
To take him from you
But don't bother watching your back
Because I always lose

Well my momma told me if ya want someone
To just reach out and grab him
So now I got two hands of men
That don't fucking me
So I don't know where
You got your news
I don't know what you heard about me girl
But I always lose
So tonight I'll be sittin there all by myself
I got a bottle and a dirty ol' dog named Hank to call mine
And I've been cutting cards
While cutting lines
'Cause I lost that thing I might as well just lose my mind

So don't start your cryin
Girl you'll be just fine
'Cause I'm not even the girl he wants
Darlin that's you

So I guess I could try
To take his love from you
But you'll be getting the best of him
Because I always lose
Ya, you'll be getting the best of him
Because I always lose
