The Winner - Badfinger

How many times have you heard it before?

You should never have taken the chances

Out on the street you had nothing to lose

But the shirt on your back, it’s a gamble

Something just happened inside me

And I’m runnin' as fast as I can

Picking' up pieces

Won’t let no one get in my way again

I’m gonna be a winner this time

Gonna be a winner this time

Any way that I choose it

Not gonna lose it again

Gonna be a winner this time

Gonna be a winner

Take all I can, it’s been there all along

There’s no reason for me to surrender

I feel it comin', been waitin' so long

Now I know what it is that I’m after

Something is there I can feel it

Oh, I was too blind to see

Pieces are fallin' in place

And I know that in time you’ll see

Something keeps a-pushin' me on

Tellin' me I gotta be strong

Something’s got a hold of my heart again

Tellin' me I gotta go on

Any way that I choose it (Be a winner this time)

Not gonna lose (Be a winner this time)

Know what I’m after (Be a winner this time)

Near to surrender (Be a winner this time)

Know it’s a gamble (Be a winner this time)

(Be a winner this time)

Gonna (Be a winner this time)

(Be a winner this time)

It’s a gamble (Be a winner this time)

(Be a winner this time)
