Playin’ The Loser Again

by Bill Withers

from the album License to Chill

Lyrics

(Jimmy)
Don’t break my heart again
Let it end
You don’t love me
Don’t make me start again
This achin in my heart

Don’t make me hope again
Knowin when you’ve grown tired of me
That you’ll just disappear
And leave me waiting here
Playing the loser again

Don’t give me hope
And take it away
Cause I’ll show my weakness
And beg you to stay
Don’t give me something to build all around
Then just for a thrill, you tear it all down

(Bill Withers)
Don’t make me dream again
It’s a sin to make love to me
And then just disappear
And leave me waiting here
Playing the loser again

(Jimmy)
Don’t give me hope
Then take it away
Cause I’ll show my weakness
And beg you to stay
Don’t give me something to build all around
And just for a thrill, you tear it all down

(Jimmy)
Don’t make me hope again
Knowing when
You’ve grown tired of me
That you’ll just disappear
And leave me waiting here
Playing the loser again
