Marianne Faithfull
"I'm A Loser"


Of all the love I have won or have lost
There is one love I should never have crossed.
He was a boy in a million, my friend,
I should have known he would win in the end.

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me.
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be.

Although I laugh and I act like a clown,
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown.
My tears are falling like rain from the sky,
Is it for him or myself that I cry?

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me.

I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be.

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me.
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be.

What have I done to deserve such a fate?
I realise I have left it too late
And so it's true pride comes before a fall,
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all.

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me.
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be.
I'm a loser.
