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

Can´t rest, rest until I´m losing
Can´t rest, rest until I´m losing
Can´t rest, rest until I´m losing
It´s about the losing
It´s about the losing
It´s about the losing
