From the recording I'm No Loser
This song--an early work in my writing career--fit so nicely with two other folk-style songs , that I recorded them together on a CD entitled, "Uplift."(Available as a download from CDBaby.com, and soon to be available to Fan Club members at nominal cost).
Lyrics
I'm no loser, but that's what some people would say.
I don't choose to be part of the game that they play.
It's not easy to stand up for what you believe in
When the one that you care for is leavin'
And the years of your youth slip away.
But I'm no loser, I'm no loser.
Yes, it's somethin' I've learned:
Don't let getting burned keep you down.
No, I'm no loser, I'm no loser.
When the time's right, I know I'll be comin' around.
I'm no loser, 'cause I've got a life left to live.
There's no user who can use up the love I can give.
When the blow comes to any affair,
Disillusion can bring to the heart such confusion
That you almost give up in despair.
But I'm no loser, I'm no loser.
Yes, it's somethin' I've learned:
Don't let getting burned keep you down.
No, I'm no loser, I'm no loser.
When the time's right, I know I'll be comin' around.
When the time's right, I know I'll be comin' around.
