Better Woman Lyrics & Chords By The Honeycutters

I always lose the same old bet
I say I'm through but I forget
and I smoke the same old cigarettes
because they haven't killed me yet
Same old selfish tears I cry
same old pack of lies
gettin' good at my goodbyes now I don't even have to try
I'll admit when I've been wrong
but that's the same damn song I've been singing all along
Now I've let you down again
just the way it's always been
same old iron I can't bend
since I can't remember when
different glass, the same old wine
same old trouble on my mind
keeps me lonesome all the time
And it's the same wind blowing at my back
makes it tough to keep on track
Every time we play, you deal the same old cards
I'm trying to be a better woman
trying to be a better woman baby
I'm trying to be a better woman, but you make it so damn hard
Same old place it always hurts
same old smile, same old flirt
I always say it could be worse
but that's the same old pile of dirt
All my sins I would confess
and put on my Sunday best
but that's the same old party dress and I still make the same old mess
same old me just having fun
but when all is said and done,
it seems I always burn my tongue
