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 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
Oh, 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
