You Win Again
noredirect/Hot Chocolate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That can be hard to take
I know we've made them fall
But only fools come back for more
Being the fool I am
I figured in all your plans, darling
Your perfumed letters didn't say
That you'd be leaving any day
So you win again, you win again
Here I stand again, the loser
And just for fun you took my love and run,
But love had just begun
I can't refuse her
But now I know that I'm the fool
Who won your love to lose it all
When you come back, you win again
And I'm not proud to say
I let love slip away
Now I'm the one who's crying
I'm a fool there's no denying
When will my heartache end?
Will my whole life depend on fading memories
You took the game this time with ease
The lyrics of "You Win Again" by Hot Chocolate are a painful confession of a man who has lost to love once again. The song speaks of a relationship that has gone awry and the pain of being taken for granted, fooled, and left behind. The singer admits to having made mistakes, but only a fool would come back for more. However, he finds himself being just that, a foolish lover who believed in the perfumed letters and sweet nothings that whispered promises of lasting love. As he admits his defeat to the one who took his love and ran, he finds himself standing alone and crying, unable to resist the pull of a love that has just begun.
The song captures the feelings of many who have lost in love and have felt the pain of rejection and abandonment. The lyrics are rich in emotion and nuance, revealing the complexity of human relationships and the fragility of love. The chorus, "you win again," is a poignant reminder of the power dynamics that exist in love, where one person often triumphs over the other. It is a reminder that even when we lose, we can learn from our mistakes and move forward.

Just to admit one mistake
Acknowledging one's errors is often difficult
That can be hard to take
It is a challenging task to accept one's faults
I know we've made them fall
We have been responsible for someone's downfall
But only fools come back for more
It is unwise to repeat the same mistakes over and over again
Being the fool I am
I admit that I have foolishly made the same mistake again
I figured in all your plans, darling
I believed I was an integral part of your future plans
Your perfumed letters didn't say
Your sweet words did not indicate
That you'd be leaving any day
That you would depart without warning
So you win again, you win again
You have emerged victorious once again
Here I stand again, the loser
I am defeated yet another time
And just for fun you took my love and run,
You left me for your amusement
But love had just begun
Our love affair was in its infancy
I can't refuse her
I am unable to resist her charm
But now I know that I'm the fool
I have realized that I am the one at fault
Who won your love to lose it all
I had your affection only to lose it completely
When you come back, you win again
If you return, you will emerge victorious once more
And I'm not proud to say
Admittedly, I am not proud to admit
I let love slip away
I allowed love to escape from my grasp
Now I'm the one who's crying
I am now the one shedding tears
I'm a fool there's no denying
There is no doubt that I am a fool
When will my heartache end?
When will my emotional pain subside?
Will my whole life depend on fading memories?
Will my entire existence rely on fleeting reminiscences?
You took the game this time with ease
You effortlessly emerged victorious this time

This is a fantastic video. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and all this information!
I suffered from seasonal allergies for years, without ever realizing I was allergic to dairy and gluten. When I went gluten and dairy free, those allergies disappeared. I loved the part about feeding your gut the right food--fiber is one of the best things for you! When your gut is healthy, the rest of your body will be healthy.
I suffered from severe morning sickness through my pregnancy, but it eased up considerably when I cut back on processed and starchy foods and replaced them with fresh fruits. Fantastic video, very well done!! 💕
