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.
