From Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969) by Neil Young

Losing End (When You're on) (Young) - 4:03

I went into town to see you
Yesterday
But you were not home.
So I talked to some old friends
For a while
Before I wandered off alone.

It's so hard for me now
But I'll make it somehow,
Though I know I'll never be the same.
Won't you ever change your ways,
It's so hard to make love pay
When you're on the losing end,
And I feel that way again.

Well, I miss you more than ever,
Since you've gone
I can hardly maintain.
Things are different round here
Every night,
My tears fall down like rain.

It's so hard for me now
But I'll make it somehow,
Though I know I'll never be the same.
Won't you ever change your ways,
It's so hard to make love pay
When you're on the losing end,
And I feel that way again.
