once i had fame
oh i was full of pride
there were a lot of friends
always by my side
but my fame oh it died
and now my friends begin to hide
everybody loves a winner
but when you lose you lose alone
everywhere i turned
there was a hello and smile
i never thought uh
they’d be gone after a while
but my bankroll went down
oh and the smiles turned to frowns
everybody loves a winner
but when you lose you lose alone
once i had a love
oh but i wouldn’t be true
to get back that love huh
ain’t nothing i wouldn’t do
but i’ve loved
and i’ve lost
oh and now i paid the cost
everybody loves a winner say it again
everybody loves a winner
but when you lose you lose alone woah yeah
