everybody loves a winner

once i had fame

oh i was full of pride

had lots of friends

always here right by my side

well my fame oh it died

now my friends all try to hide

everybody loves a winner

everybody loves a winner

but when you lose

you lose alone

everywhere i turned

there was a hello and smile

i never thought

they'd be gone after a while

well my friends let me down

and the smiles turned to frowns

everybody loves a winner

everybody loves a winner

but when you lose

you lose alone

once i had love

ah but i couldn't be true

to get back that love

there ain't nothing i wouldn't do

well i've loved

and i've lost

and now i'll pay the cost

everybody loves a winner

everybody loves a winner

everybody loves a winner

but when you lose

you lose alone
