Once I had fame
Oh, I was full of pride
Had lots of friends
Always here
Right by my side
Well, my fame
Oh, it died
Now my friends
All try to hide
Everybody loves a winner
Everybody loves a winner
But when you lose
You lose alone
Everywhere I turned
There was a hello and smile
I never thought
They'd be gone
After a while
Well, my friends
Let me down
And the smiles
Turned to frowns
Everybody loves a winner
Everybody loves a winner
But when you lose
You lose alone
Once I had love
Ah, but I couldn't be true
To get back that love
There ain't nothing
I wouldn't do
Well, I've loved
And I've lost
And now I'll
Pay the cost
Everybody loves a winner
Everybody loves a winner
Everybody loves a winner
But when you lose
You lose alone
