I never noticed when you changed your hair
Just another of those moments, i was only half there
When you wore that red dress, that was kind'a up to here
I never noticed, you were wearing a tear

I was always trying to win the world
What on earth was i thinking of
One time too often, i didn't hold you enough
I was always trying to win the world
But somewhere i lost you, i never saw you
Only trying to win my love

It should have been easy, for all of those times
It would have been me there, if i knew the signs
When you wore that red dress, how could i know then
You'd wear it for me once, and never wear it again

I was always trying to win the world
What on earth was i thinking of
One time too often, i didn't hold you enough
I was always trying to win the world
But somewhere i lost you, 'cause i never saw you
Only trying to win my love

Somewhere i lost you, 'cause i never saw you
Only trying to win my love
