Never could believe the things you do to me,
Never could believe the way you are.
Every day I bless the day that you got through to me,
'Cause baby, I believe that you're a star.

Everyone's a winner, baby, that's the truth (yes, the truth)
Making love to you is such a thrill.
Everyone's a winner, baby, that's no lie (yes, no lie)
You never fail to satisfy (satisfy)

Never could explain just what was happening to me,
Just one touch of you and I'm a flame.
Baby, it's amazing just how wonderful it is
That the things we like to do are just the same.

Everyone's a winner, baby, that's the truth (yes, the truth)
Making love to you is such a thrill.
Everyone's a winner, baby, that's no lie (yes, no lie)
You never fail to satisfy (satisfy)

Let's do it again.

Everyone's a winner, baby, that's the truth (yes, the truth)
Making love to you is such a thrill.
Everyone's a winner, baby, that's no lie (yes, no lie)
You never fail to satisfy (satisfy)
