Once I had fame, oh but I was full of pride. there were a lot of friends Always by my side. but my fame oh it died and my friends began to hide Everybody loves a winner but when you lose you lose alone. everywhere I turn there was hello and a smile I never thought that it would be gone After awhile but my bank roll oh it down and the smiles they turned To frowns. everybody loves a winner but when you lose you lose alone Once I had love. oh but it wouldn't be true to get back that love there ain't Nothing I wouldn't do but I've loved and I lost and now I paid the cost Everybody loves a winner but when you lose you lose alone Everybody loves a winner but when you lose you lose alone.
