I’m A Loser – Marianne Faithfull (originally by The Beatles)

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
