Lyrics
I met Jimmy in '56
He was married to someone else then
Got a little crazy, had a little fun
And I left home on a whim
Then nothing mattered but the drugs to him
He kept on turning into someone meaner
I took a twenty from the dresser drawer
And a bus right out of town
But I'm not gonna lose again/I'm not gonna let it go sour now
I'm not gonna lose again/You better find out who you are
Paulie was different or maybe the same
We hooked up for a year or more
He kept me laughing/He kept me sane
Until the joke wore out
I found out he was sleeping with everyone
He played it like a kind of a game yeah
I threw him out on January 1
Of 1958
But I'm not gonna lose again...
This is a story of serial love
It ain't no romance novel
There was Johnny and Tommy and Sean and Tim
There was Jake and Norbert and Slim
It could be for a week, a year or one night
It's always
the same but it's totally opposite
Don't laugh -- I still might get it right
I'll be in practice for sure
I'm not gonna lose again
And I won't let myself get bitter
I'm not gonna lose again
You can't call me a quitter
I'm not gonna lose again...
Here comes the man of the hour
