I'm gonna try to let you win
even if I know that you are wrong
so when you try to read my face
from there across the table
I'll pretend that I don't know
and maybe I will smile
like the way I used to do
I'll sit here for a while
if you need me to
I'm gonna try to let you win
only, this time I will ask
why you're so sure about these things
cause your defense is failing
and you're moving way too fast
but I've always liked your smile
telling me questions, asking me lies
and maybes they don't count round here
I'm gonna try to let you win
maybe this time you will notice that I do
that I'm not doing it for me
that I'm doing it for you
and maybe we will smile
do you think that's what we'll do ?
well, maybe if you let me through
then, maybe if you fight a little harder than you do
but maybes they don't count round here - not till I let you lose
