Written by: Neil Diamond and Susan Longacre 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
