One of the best singers of sad songs ever, Hank Williams did a fabulous job with this song, about a man tortured by his love for a woman that is cheating on him. Hank’s voice is what really sells You Win Again, as you can hear the regret dripping on each note.
And of course, the lyrics:
The news is out all over town
That you’ve been seen a-runnin’ ’round
I know that I should leave, but then
I just can’t go - you win again
This heart of mine could never see
What ev’rybody knew but me
Just trusting you was my great sin
What can I do - you win again
I’m sorry for your victim now
‘Cause soon his head like mine will bow
He’ll give his heart but all in vain
And someday say - you win again
You have no heart you have no shame
You take true love and give the blame
I guess that I should not complain
I love you still - you win again
