Lyrics:

Words and Music 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 cut up to here,
I never noticed you were wearing a tear.

I was always try'n' to win the world.
What on earth was I thinking of?
One time too often I didn't hold you enough.
I was always try'n' to win the world,
but somewhere I lost you.
('Cause)I never saw you only try'n' to win my love.

It should have been me there 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 try'n' to win the world.
What on earth was I thinking of?
One time too often I didn't hold you enough.
I was always try'n' to win the world,
but somewhere I lost you.
('Cause) I never saw you only try'n' to win my love.
Somewhere I lost you, 'cause I never saw you
only try'n' to win my love
