You Win Again
Williams Hank Jr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you've been seen, a-runnin' 'round
I know that I should leave, but then
I just can't go, you win again
This heart of mine, could never see
What everybody knew but me
Just trusting you was my great sin
I'm sorry for your victim now
'Cause soon his head, like mine will bow
He'll give his heart, but all in vain
And someday say, you win again
You have no heart, you have no shame
You take true love, and give the blame
I guess that I, should not complain
I love you still, you win again

The song culminates with the singer realizing that despite his knowledge of his partner's infidelity, he still loves her and has been beaten by her once again.

I’ve listened to this over 100 times since I’ve found it. Still gives me goosebumps. Hank jr has an amazing voice.
@samuelelrod8472
I've seen him in concert 17 times. His pure talent is unparalleled.
@NormalRabbit12
Take me with you
@WeBeeJamming
You should've just toured with him.🤣🤣🤣
@samuelelrod8472
@Mr. Ricky I've never seen a musician that could play every instrument
@WeBeeJamming
@Samuel Elrod Agreed. My wife went with me to my first concert and thought he was faking. I told her that there are only a few instruments he can't play! And that night I bet he played 10 or so. All while entertaining thousands of fans. People that bash him or talk about him only being famous because of his father are normally just sheep following the path of the last idiot's comment.
@chriscarlson516
He doesn't quite have the perfect pitch that his daddy had. Sometimes he sings around the note before he finds it, while Hank sr's pitch was always true.
@rethastoneking4680
I think this country is ready for a revival of this kind of singing and these wonderful old songs that had so much feeling in them.🇺🇸
@harrypotter7291
@Mark Rondson Morgan Wallen has no talent he’s a poop butt.
