Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Seems like you've been wasting time
Trying to find your place in life
You need to get your ducks all in a row
Stop acting so peculiar
Get on board, I won't fool ya
Follow me, I'll show you what you don't know
[Verse 2]
So, take some time to understand
That life is a race, mm, for each and every man
Sometimes people would treat you like a worn out shoe
But they don't know that you can't lose
[Verse 3]
Now, if you seem to get off track
I'll be there to get you back
Don't you worry, I'll be in your corner
When the chips are stacked against you
Just remember that I'm with you
Keep on moving right past the finish line
[Verse 4]
So, take some time, mm, to understand
That life is a race, ooh, for each and every man
Sometimes people would treat you like a worn out shoe
But they don't know that you can't lose
[Verse 5]
Come and be a winner
Come and be a winner
Come and be a winner
Come and be a winner
[Verse 6]
Be a winner
Stone winner
Be a winner now
[Verse 7]
Now you're a winner
Whoa, baby
(Now you're a winner)
Mm, you're a winner, yeah, yes you are
(Now you're a winner)
Ooh, because you got me
(Now you're a winner)
Ooh, because you got me, yeah
(Now you're a winner)
Mm, because you got me, uh-huh
Now you're a winner
Ooh, because you got me, yeah
(Now you're a winner)
