The Losing

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 on a winner

Let me tell ya, the winning's not what it's all about



You see, it's about the losing

Oh, again it's about the losing

Can't rest, rest until I'm losing



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

And 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, yeah, it's about the losing

Every time I win, I have to start again

I can't rest, rest until I'm losing, no I 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

I can't stop when I'm at the top, oh yeah it's about the losing

Every time I win, I have to start again

I can't rest, rest until I'm losing, I can't rest, rest until I'm losing

Oh I can't rest, rest until I'm losing



It's about the losing

It's about the losing

It's about the losing

It's about the losing
