been playing all night long
It's good to know I'm not the only loser and all this
time I thought I was alone
She wanted to walk out and I'm the fool that let her
It's so good to hear the part where I'll soon be gettin' better
So play that song again about the loser
The same one that's been playing all night long
It's good to know I'm not the only loser and all this
time I thought I've hurt alone
So play it just for me then I'll go home
