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
