Playing the Loser Again Lyrics

Playing The Loser Again
(with Bill Withers, Martina McBride & Nanci Griffith)
By Bill Withers

(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.

(Jimmy, Martina & Nanci)
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) 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, Bill, Martina & Nanci)
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.

(Jimmy) 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.
