One day I was on the ground When I needed a hand Then it couldn't be found I was so far down that I couldn't get up You know and one day I was one of life's losers Even my friends were my accusers In my head I lost before I begun I had a dream but it turned to dust And what I thought was love That must have been lust I was living in style When the walls fell in And when I played my hand I looked like a joker Turn around fate must have woke her 'Cause lady luck she was waiting outside the door I'm winning I'm winning I'm winning I'm winning I'm winning And I don't intend losing again Too bad it belonged to me It was the wrong time and not meant to be It took a long time and I'm new born now I can see the day that I bleed for If it's agreed that there's a need To play the game and to win again I'm winning I'm winning I'm winning I'm winning I'm winning And I don't intend losing again I had a dream but it turned to dust And what I thought was love That must have been lust I was living in style When the walls fell in And when I played my hand I looked like a joker Turn around fate must have woke her 'Cause lady luck she was waiting outside the door I'm winning I'm winning I'm winning I'm winning I'm winning And I don't intend losing again
