Losing

Marianne Faithfull · Other Songs - Marianne Faithfull

You know I see you when you're sleeping

When you're all insane with dreaming

I can tell you that you been fighting, baby

But you been losing

You know there's clearer ways of thinking

And there's quicker ways of dying

But I'm a sucker for your drinking

And now, I'm losing

I don't know who you think you're cheating

Or with whom you have been sleeping

But all the shit that you've been eating

Says you're losing

When I let my hate pervert me

And there's no more tears for crying

I'll just kill you if you hurt me

I'll kill you

You know I see you when you're sleeping

When you're all insane with dreaming

I can tell you that you been fighting, baby

Fighting hard and losing

Fighting hard and losing

Fighting hard fighting hard losing
