  • Just to admit one mistake
    That can be hard to take
    I know we've made them fall
    But only fools come back for more
    Being the fool I am
    I figured in all your plans, darling
    Your perfumed letters didn't say
    That you'd be leaving any day

    [Chorus]
    So you win again, you win again
    Here I stand again, the loser
    And just for fun you took my love and run,
    But love had just begun

    I can't refuse her
    But now I know that I'm the fool
    Who won your love to lose it all
    When you come back, you win again

    And I'm not proud to say
    I let love slip away
    Now I'm the one who's crying
    I'm a fool there's no denying

    When will my heartache end?
    Will my whole life depend on fading memories
    You took the game this time with ease

    [Chorus: x 2] Writer/s: RUSSELL GLYN BALLARD

  • LmI agree with 'Anonymous' -- this song was absolutely Hot Chocolate's best single ..
  • AnonymousThis was their best single and thoroughly deserved its #1 chart placing.
  • Zabadak from London, EnglandEven though this was their only UK #1 hit, this is nowhere near their best single!
