So Much for Winning - Tom Paxton

I left a window open all night long

And I got rained on, silly me

If I owned the Playboy Club

I’d probably lose my key

Ah when you’re winning, you don’t mind

And now she’s gone, so much for winning

I’ve got a dictionary in my room

I learn a new word every day

When I try polite conversation

Can’t think of a word to say

Ah when you’re winning, you don’t mind

And now she’s gone, so much for winning

She walked out sometime last evening

Didn’t bother to say goodbye

If you gave me the deed to the Mississippi River

You know it would run dry

I found some pamphlets waiting in the mail

Self-improvement guaranteed

Yoga books and psychic power

Can’t get me what I need

Ah when you’re winning, you don’t mind

And now she’s gone, so much for winning

She walked out sometime last evening

Didn’t bother to say goodbye

If you gave me the deed to the Mississippi River

You know it would run dry

I left a window open all night long

And I got rained on, silly me

If I owned the Playboy Club

I’d probably lose my key

Ah when you’re winning, you don’t mind

And now she’s gone, so much for winning
