Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh, that's the way it goes
The city is so cold
And I'm, I'm so slow
That's why I know
[Verse 2]
(I said hit it) Born to lose
Born to lose
Born to lose
(Oh) Baby, I'm born to lose
[Verse 3]
Oh, a-nothing to do
Aw, nothing to say
Only one thing that I want
It's the only way
[Verse 4]
(I said hit it) Born to lose
(I said hit it) Born to lose
(I said hit it) Born to lose
(Oh) Baby, I'm born to lose
Oh, baby, I'm born to lose
[Verse 5]
Oh, living in a jungle
It ain't so hard
Living in a city
It'll eat out, eat out your heart
[Verse 6]
(I said hit it) Born to lose
(I said hit it) Born to lose
(I said hit it) Born to lose
(Oh) Baby, I'm born to lose
Oh, baby, I'm born to lose
Oh, baby, I'm born to lose
Oh, baby, I'm born to
[Verse 7]
(I said hit it) Born to lose
(I said hit it) Born to lose
(I said hit it) Born to lose
(Oh) Baby, I'm born to lose
Oh, baby, I'm born to lose
[Verse 8]
(I said hit it) Born to lose
(I said hit it) Born to lose
(I said hit it) Born to lose
(Oh) Baby, I'm born to lose
Oh, baby, I'm born to lose
Oh, baby, I'm born to lose
Oh, baby, I'm born to lose
Oh, baby, I'm born to lose
Oh, baby, I'm born to lose
Oh, baby, I'm born to lose
Oh, baby, I'm born to lose
Oh, baby, I'm born to lose
Oh, baby, I'm born to lose
