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.
