Playin’ the Loser Again lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3: Bill Withers]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
