He said that He had your number
You cut the telephone line
You say you needed a reason
He said: "There ain't much time"
You kept tryin' to avoid it
He kept knockin' on the door
In a flash it was over
You were a prisoner of war

But when you loose, you win
That's the way it is
That's where the love comes down
That's where the love comes down

She was playin' in traffic
And you were scopin' her out
She was so much elastic
Someone 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 loose, you win
That's the way it is
That's where the love comes down
That's where the love comes down

'Cause when you loose, you win
That's the way it is
That's where the love comes down (x3)
That's where the love comes

You can't beat the heat
He's red hot on your trail
He's the love enforcer
And He's paid your bail
It's much more than emotion
It's not just in your head
You gotta die to get life
And you'd be better off dead

Oh, because when you loose, you win
That's the way it is
That's where the love comes down
That's where the love comes down

'Cause when you loose, you win
That's the way it is
That's where the love comes down
That's where the love comes down

'Cause when you loose, you win
That's the way it is within
That's where the love comes down (x8)
