He said that he had your number - you cut the telephone line,
You said you needed a reason; he said, "There ain't much time,"
You kept trying to avoid it; he kept knocking on the door,
In a flash, it was over - you were a prisoner of war.
Oh, 'cause when you lose, you win - that's the way it is,
That's when the love comes down,
That's when the love comes down.
And she was playing in traffic, and you were scoping her out, yeah,
She was so much elastic some one had strung her out,
Until the fire had reached her - that's when the lights came on,
That's when she got off her habit, that's when you took her on home.
Oh, 'cause when you lose, you win - that's the way it is,
That's when the love comes down,
That's when the love comes down,
Oh, 'cause when you lose, you win - that's the way it is,
That's when the love comes down,
That's when the love comes down,
That's when the love comes down,
That's when the love comes.
You can't beat the heat; he's red hot on your trail,
He's a love enforcer, and he has paid your bail,
It's much more than emotion, it's not just in your head,
You gotta...gotta get life, oh, and you'll be better off dead.
Oh, 'cause when you lose, you win - that's the way it is,
That's when the love comes down,
That's when the love comes down,
Oh, 'cause when you lose, you win - that's the way it is,
That's when the love comes down,
That's when the love comes down,
Oh, 'cause when you lose, you win - that's the way it is with him,
That's when the love comes down,
That's when the love comes down,
That's when the love comes down,
That's when the love comes down,
Whoa, that's when the love comes down,
That's when the love comes down,
That's when the love comes down,
That's when the love comes down,
Oh.
