Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

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

[Verse 2]

I had a dream, but it turned to dust

And what I thought was love, that must've been lust

I was living in style when the walls fell in

When I played my hand, I looked like a joker

Turned around, fate must've woke her

'Cause Lady Luck, she was waiting outside the door

[Chorus]

I'm winning, I'm winning

I'm winning, I'm winning

I'm winning, and I don't intend on losing again

[Verse 3]

Too bad, it belonged to me

It was the wrong time, and I meant to be

Took a long time, and I knew for now

I can see the day that I breath for

Friends agree, there's a need

To play the game and to win again

[Chorus]

I'm winning, I'm winning

I'm winning, I'm winning

I'm winning, and I don't intend on losing again

[Verse 4]

I had a dream, but it turned to dust

What I thought was love, that must've been lust

I was living in style when the walls fell in

When I played my hand, I looked like a joker

Turned around, fate must have woke her

'Cause Lady Luck, she was waiting outside the door

[Chorus]

I'm winning, I'm winning

I'm winning, I'm winning

I'm winning, and I don't intend on losing again
