Lyrics

[Verse 1]

One day I was on the ground

When I needed a hand and it couldn't be found

I was so far down that I couldn't get up

You know and me

One day I was one of life's losers

Even my friends were my accusers

And in my head, I'd lost before I'd begun

[Verse 2]

I had a dream but it turned to dust

And what I thought was love, that must have been lust

I was livin' in style when the walls fell in

When I played my hand, I looked like a joker

Turn around, fate musta woke her

'Cause lady luck, she was waitin' outside the door

[Verse 3]

I'm winning, I'm winning

I'm winning, I'm winning

I'm winning and I don't intend on losin' again

[Verse 4]

Too bad it belonged to me

It was the wrong time and not meant to be

Took a long time and I knew for now

I can see the day that I'll be for

And if it's agreed there's a need to play the game

And to win again

[Verse 5]

I'm winning, I'm winning

I'm winning, I'm winning

I'm winning and I don't intend on losin' again

[Verse 6]

I had a dream but it turned to dust

And what I thought was love, that must have been lust

I was livin' in style when the walls fell in

When I played my hand, I looked like a joker

Turn around, fate musta woke her

'Cause lady luck, she was waitin' outside the door

[Verse 7]

I'm winning, (Yeah, yeah) I'm winning (I'm winning)

I'm winning, I'm winning (Ooh, I'm winning)

I'm winning and I don't intend on losin' again
