Funny Way To Win

(album: Some Other Sucker's Parade - 1997)

So you want me to play the bleeding role
Just so he can know how I needed you
Well that's OK with me, it's a part I think I know
God knows he won't need to suspend belief

I know it's just a game
And losing you's how it just begins
Ain't that a funny way to win
Ain't that a funny way to win

So I run around dragging people down
Holding my broken heart like a cheap cartoon
Just so he can see it's a sucker who
Does to you what you did to me

I know it's just a game
And losing you's how it just begins
Ain't that a funny way to win
Ain't that a funny way to win

So if there's another need that I can still serve
I'm low on self esteem but I'm high on nerve

I know it's just a game
And losing you's how it just begins
Ain't that a funny way to win
Yeah, that's a funny way to win
