Loser Man

I know I am falling in love again
This time with a two time loser man
Who's falling in love one time out of three
And this time he's at bat with me

Don't know how it's happened this way
Just know that I love you for today
You state your love and need for a chance
But all of this is just not my dance

I'm more for the waltz and pirouette
With you I know this I will not get
More likely smooth talk, tequila, and tango
'Til I won't know which way to turn or how to go

Oh loser man, you talk so very fine
Taking me off my feet and out of my mind
Phrases so polished as brass, yet decades old
Yet to my lonesome heart, they take their hold

No longer do I know right from wrong
Just tonight feeling that ol' emptiness gone
So loser man, for now I'm your one time out of three
Tomorrow you may strike out again,
We'll just wait and see
