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.
