Lose Again
Linda Ronstadt · Georges Lang Volume 2 [2012]
The train's gone down the track and I've stayed behind.
But nothing can free me from this ball and chain
I've made up my mind, I would leave today.
But you're keepin' me goin', I know it's insane
Because I love you and lose again.
When the heart calls, the mind obeys
Oh it knows better than me, baby.
If I hold on for one more day,
Oh maybe, maybe he'll be true
And nothing can free me from this ball and chain
I've made up my mind, I would leave today.
But you're keepin' me goin', I know it's insane
Because I love you and lose again.
