With Me You Won't Win Twice

from Have We Met Before? by Lucia Comnes

/

about

Bouncy, rockabilly, boot stomping romp with assertive solo vocals and percussive, classic 50s guitar sound, upright bass; fun and bold lyrics with a hint of Nancy Sinatra’s ‘These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ tone - a conundrum about what to do next in the game of love. Lucia originally wrote this song with a personalized children’s lyric as a gift to her nephew born in 2022. It was such a fun song to sing that she decided to re-write the lyric for adult audiences and came up with this statement about love, from a woman’s conundrum about being in a relationship with a man who tends to be more faithful to his freedom (or his fears of losing it) than he is to what she wants and time is passing quickly.

lyrics

With Me You Won't Win Twice

I tried real hard to love you, boy, I gave you everything
But we’re still where we started I never got that diamond ring
After all these years and counting still don’t know what to do
Take my cards off the table or wait around for you

Great men rise in battle
Gamblers roll the dice
You might be feeling lucky
But with me you won’t win twice

Once we rode together in a bumpy carriage ride
Many times you told me I was your greatest prize
And I believed your romance would be enough for me
Now I’m searching for someone to give me what I need

Great men rise in battle
Gamblers roll the dice
You might be feeling lucky
But with me you won’t win twice

If all is fair in love and war cause no one is to blame
Then there’s no right or wrong we just take turns making plays
But now we’re throwing aces, the stakes my dear are high
So show me where you stand, look me in the eye

Great men rise in battle
Gamblers roll the dice
You might be feeling lucky
But with me you won’t win twice

Today we roll in heaven, tomorrow fight like hell
I make another visit to my favorite wishing well
Cause I may be level headed, to my heart I’m true
Just still so damn restless, don’t know what to do ‘bout you

Great men rise in battle
Gamblers roll the dice
You might be feeling lucky
But with me you won’t win twice

Great men rise in battle
Gamblers roll the dice
You might be feeling lucky
But with me you won’t win twice
