the losing end when you re on

Neil Young

I went into town to see you yesterday but you were not home.
So I talked to some old friends for a while before I wandered off alone.

It s so hard for me now
But I ll make it somehow,
Though I know I ll never be the same.
Won t you ever change your ways,
It s so hard to make love pay
When you re on the losing end,
And I feel that way again.

Well, I miss you more than ever, since you ve gone I can hardly maintain.
Things are different round here every night, my tears fall down like rain.

It s so hard for me now
But I ll make it somehow,
Though I know I ll never be the same.
Won t you ever change your ways,
It s so hard to make love pay
When you re on the losing end,
