So Much For Winning

Words and Music by 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 loose the 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 loose the key.
Ah when you're winning, you don't mind,
And now she's gone, so much for winning.
