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
|
