Someone's got to win, someone's got to lose
That's the way it's got to be, yes 
I give (?) that it's soul, I really like to know
But why does the loser always have to be me?

Someone's love will last, someone's love will end
It's as simple as ABC, oh
It's not really news, somebody have to lose
But why does the loser always have to be me?

I don't ask much, just let 'Lady Love' touch me one time
And maybe then I will bring back the love that was mine
Someone's got to lose and end up with the blues
But why does the loser always have to be me?

Oh, why does the loser
I mean, why does the loser
Oh baby, why does the loser always have to be me?
