Lyrics

I wanna be on top, forever on the up And damn the competition I never play it fair, I never turn a hair Just like the politicians I wrap my conscience up, I wanna win that cup And get my money, baby But back in the dressing room The other side is weeping And we're winning (winning), winning (winning) ugly And we're winning (winning), winning (winning) ugly And we're heading for the heartbreak Heading for the blues, yeah And we're heading for the heartbreak Heading for the blues And we're winning (winning), winning (winning) ugly I will not act unkind, I will not be so blind I will not walk so proud Come down from off my cloud How can I live my life this way? Beauty is staring me in the face Ain't that the truth? Ain't that the truth? Hold on Come on, girl Hold on, girl Look out for number one, my country right or wrong Let the devil take the hindmost I was brought up to cheat, so long as the referee Wasn't looking I'm never wrong at all, I always fight the call I don't admit it But back in the dressing room The other side is a-screaming And we're winning (winning), winning (winning) ugly, yeah And we're winning (winning), winning (winning) ugly And we're heading for the heartbreak Heading for the blues We're heading for the heartbreak Heading for the blues, yeah And we're winning (winning), winning (winning) ugly I will not act unkind, I will not be so blind I will not walk so proud Come down from off my cloud How can I live my life this way? Beauty is staring me in the face Ain't that the truth? Ain't that the truth? Come on baby, come on girl A little bit louder Walk a little bit prouder And we're winning (winning), winning (winning) ugly, that's alright Winning (winning), winning (winning), winning ugly, come on girl What she's saying (winning), winning (winning), winning ugly And I'm winning (winning), winning (winning), winning ugly, winning ugly Come on (winning), stay on, girl (winning ugly), stay on, girl Stay on, girl, come on (winning, winning ugly)
