Pretenders 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
