I Was A Winner - Pipe Dream

Well I was a winner until I met you,
Then I guess that my luck it ran out!
You said you’d be my lover and love me true,
Now tell me what it’s all about.
You took my money and you took my heart,
Then you played me like a game,
Now you say you’re sorry wanna’ make a new start,
But baby, things ain’t the same.

The tables are turned and I’m ok,
You say you wanna’ try and make it work another way,
Well you might be my lover, but you don’t love me,
Cause’ lovin’ ain’t lovin’ if it ain’t for free!

If I was the joker then you were the queen,
Or maybe the ace of spades,
So you dealt me to the bottom of terrible dream,
And wasted my life away.
You took my money, you took my heart,
And then you played me like a game,
Now you say you’re sorry, wanna’ make a new start,
But baby, things ain’t the same.

The tables are turned and I’m ok,
You say you wanna’ try and make it work another way,
You might be my lover, but you don’t love me,
Cause’ lovin’ ain’t lovin if it ain’t for free!

You took my money and broke my heart,
Saying that you love me, is tearing me apart,
Don’t call me honey! I don’t think it’s funny!
You’re saying that you need me,
When you only want to bleed me!
I know one thing and that’s for sure,
You won’t have my love no more! Ah ah!

I know one thing and that’s for sure,
You won’t have my love no more! Ah ah!

Two minded people of bad and bad,
With thoughtless ambitions, all they’ve ever had,
Cold blooded vultures waiting for the kill,
Life taking dreamers in search of a will.

Wo ho hey hey hey ay ay, wo ho, ho ho ho,
Wo ho hey hey hey ay ay, wo ho, ho ho ho,

Jump of in his life, cause he might jump mine,
I’ve done my job, my part is fine,
Don’t need a reason, anymore,
That light of life has blown out some how, how.

Wo ho hey hey hey ay ay, wo ho, ho ho ho,
Wo ho hey hey hey ay ay, wo ho, ho ho ho,
