Well I never been inclined to be The kind to turn and run you see And I heard a lot of people say That "Trouble" should have been my name But I was just a born believer Getting things to go my way Baby losin' ain't the name of the game I play Yeah I learned some lessons early And I learned some lessons hard But I kept my eyes wide open all along the way And I remember them that's helped me And them that's done me wrong Mother losin' ain't the name of the game I play 'Cause I had me some good times, bad times Times behind the wall times But it never worried me at all 'Cause I could always see That I was just a born believer Getting things to go my way Losin' ain't the name of the game I play 'Cause I had me some good times bad times Times behind the wall times But it never worried me at all 'Cause I could always see That I was just a born believer Getting things to go my way Losin' ain't the name of the game I play Oh no, no, no, I said Losin' ain't the name of the game I play
