Lyrics So Much for Winning - Tom Paxton

So Much for Winning

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
