About the song
The Bee Gees, a trio synonymous with the disco era, surprised many when they resurfaced in 1987 with a chart-topping hit that marked a triumphant return to the music scene. “You Win Again,” the lead single from their album “E.S.P.,” was a testament to their enduring songwriting prowess and showcased a timeless melody that resonated with audiences of all ages.
After a period of commercial decline, the Gibb brothers, Barry, Robin, and Maurice, retreated to the studio to craft new material. The result was a collection of songs that captured the essence of their earlier work while incorporating contemporary elements. “You Win Again” was one such track, a melodic pop gem that blended their signature harmonies with a driving rhythm.
The song’s infectious chorus, with its memorable refrain of “You win again,” quickly became a radio staple. Its uplifting message of resilience and determination struck a chord with listeners, who embraced the track as a celebration of triumph over adversity. The song’s success was a testament to the enduring appeal of the Bee Gees’ music, proving that their talents were far from fading.
“You Win Again” not only marked the beginning of a successful comeback for the Bee Gees but also solidified their legacy as one of the most influential pop acts of all time. The song’s enduring popularity is a testament to its timeless appeal, a reminder that great music can transcend generations and continue to resonate with audiences long after its release.

Lyrics
I couldn’t figure why
You couldn’t give me what everybody needs
I shouldn’t let you kick me when I’m down, my baby
I find out everybody knows that
You’ve been using me
I’m surprised you
Let me stay around you
One day I’m gonna lift the cover
And look inside your heart
We gotta level before we go
And tear this love apart
There’s no fight, you can’t fight this battle of love with me
You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete
There’s no life on earth, no other could see me through
You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can
And I’ll be (and I’ll be), I’ll be (I’ll be) following you
Oh girl, oh no
Oh baby, I shake you from now on
I’m gonna break down your defenses, one by one
I’m gonna hit you from all sides, lay your fortress open wide
Nobody stops this body from taking you
You better beware, I swear
I’m gonna be there one day when you fall
I could never let you cast aside
The greatest love of all
There’s no fight, you can’t fight this battle of love with me
You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete
There’s no life on earth, no other could see me through
You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can
And I’ll be (and I’ll be), I’ll be (I’ll be) following you, oh girl
You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete
There’s no life on earth, no other could see me through
You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can
And I’ll be (and I’ll be), I’ll be (I’ll be) following you
You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete
There’s no life on earth, no other could see me through
You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can
There’s no fight, you can’t fight this battle of love with me
You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete
There’s no life on earth, no other could see me through
You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can
There’s no fight, you can’t fight this battle of love with me
