If it's games you want I've played a few
|
Let me say up front I'll lose to you
|
I can see you're a beginner
|
Well beginner's luck runs out
|
You think you're a winner
|
But let me tell ya
|
The winning's not what it's all about
|
You see, it's about the losing
|
Can't rest until I'm losing
|
|
At first you feel hungry
|
Then you're thirsty too
|
Then a desperate feeling comes over you
|
You think you can beat
|
What no one has before
|
Then you start to cheat
|
Before you know it
|
You're back for more
|
|
You see it's about the losing
|
Can't stop when I'm at the top
|
It's about the losing
|
Every time I win I have to start again
|
Can't rest, rest until I'm losing
|
A bluff's about as good as the getting will get
|
You see in this neighborhood
|
We're all in debt
|
|
A little more money
|
A little more fame
|
Who amongst us, if anybody
|
Wouldn't risk it all
|
To stay in the game
|
You see it's about the losing
|
Can't stop when I'm at the top
|
It's about the losing
|
Every time I win I have to start again
|
|
Can't rest, rest until I'm losing
|
Can't rest, rest until I'm losing
|
Can't rest, rest until I'm losing
|
It's about the losing
|
It's about the losing
|
It's about the losing
|
