"Playin' the Loser Again" — from Living and Dying in 3/4 Time (1974).
Don't break my heart again
Let it end
You don't love me
Don't make me start again
It's aching in my heart
Don't make me hope again
Knowing when you've grown tired of me
That you just disappear and leave me waiting here
Playin' the loser again
Don't give me hope
And take it away
Cause I'll show my weakness
Make you to stay
Don't give me something
To build all around
And just for a thrill
You tear it all down
Don't make me dream again
It's a sin to make love to me
And then just disappear
And leave me waiting here
Playin' the loser again
Don't give me hope
And take it away
Cause I'll show my weakness
Make you to stay
Don't give me something
To build all around
And just for a thrill
You tear it all down
Don't make me hope again
Knowing when you've grown tired of me
That you just disappear and leave me waiting here
Playin' the loser again

- From Living and Dying in 3/4 Time (1974). The loser as a recurring role — the person who loses at love, at cards, at whatever the game is. Buffett's early material drawing on country music's tradition of the charming loser.
