I'll Win You Back If It Kills Me

I know not,

The word defeat,

Though I comfortably use,

The term tactical retreat.

I know it sounds awfully proud,

Of me to say I rarely lose,

But know I mean only,

In terms I care to use.

I've lost games of chance,

Or sports at play,

But know of the things I care for,

I'll never see a defeated day.

Few things on earth keep my attention,

And fewer still do I hold close,

But darling know if love is truly a game,

I surely will not lose.

For when it comes to you,

I know not the word defeat.

And I certainly will never employ,

A tactical retreat.
