Have you heard about the Lonesome Loser? Beaten by the Queen of Hearts every time. Have you heard about the Lonesome Loser? He's a loser but he still keeps on trying. Sit down, take a look at yourself Don't you want to be somebody? Someday somebody's gonna see inside You have to face up, you can't run and hide. Have you heard about the Lonesome Loser? Beaten by the Queen of Hearts every time. Have you heard about the Lonesome Loser? He's a loser but he still keeps on trying. Unlucky at love at least that's what they say He lost his head and he gambled his heart away He still keeps searching though there's nothing left Staked his heart and lost, now he has to pay the cost Have you heard about the Lonesome Loser? Beaten by the Queen of Hearts every time. Have you heard about the Lonesome Loser? He's a loser but he still keeps on trying. "It's okay." he smiles and says But this loneliness is driving him crazy. He don't show what goes on in his head But if you watch very close you'll see it all Sit down, take a look at yourself Don't you want to be somebody? Someday somebody's gonna see inside You have to face up, you can't run and hide. Have you heard about the Lonesome Loser? Now tell me have you heard about the Lonesome Loser?
