Lyrics

Born to lose, born to lose the game
Born to cry when I hear you're near
Born to smile through a mist of tears
Born to live, lost in lonely years
Born to lose every game I play
You must go, there's no other way
Touch my life with your love once more
It must last till forever more
Take my love, take my life, my soul
Take my dreams, take my word, my own
Would I change? Could I only choose?
No, not me, I was born to lose
Take my love, take my life, my soul
Take my dreams, take my word, my own
Would I change? Could I only choose?
No, not me, I was born to lose
Take my love, take my life, my soul
Take my dreams, take my word, my own
Would I change? Could I only choose?
No, not me, I was born to lose
Take my love, take my life, my soul
Take my dreams, take my word, my own
Written by: Dario Baldan Bembo, Norman Newell, Sergio Bardotti
