The Losing Lyrics - Pretenders

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
