Martha Reeves & The Vandellas
You’re the Loser Now
[Chorus]
You're the loser now (You're the loser, you're the loser)
You're the loser now, my baby
You're the loser now (You're the loser, you're the loser)
You're the loser now, my baby

[Verse 1]
It surely took a long time (Surely took a long time)
For me to realize
That all your promises and sweet talk (All your promises and sweet talk)
Were nothing but a bunch of lies
Like any young girl in love (Like any young girl in love)
I was yours and nothing less
But all you gave me in return (All you gave me)
Was months of unhappiness

[Pre-Chorus]
With a child's heart it was hard
So hard to forget you
But as you see, boy
It ain't hard now
It's a waste of time
To try and change my mind
I'm not the same young girl
That you left behind (Oh baby, now)
[Chorus]
And you're the loser now (You're the loser, you're the loser)
You're the loser now, my baby
You're the loser now (You're the loser, you're the loser)
You're the loser now, my baby

[Verse 2]
And now that I've grown up
You're down on bended knees
But you're beggin' and pleadin' won't bring me back
After all you've done to me
You said we had a winning team
But it was I who paid the price
The one thing that I've learned so well
Is not to be a loser twice

[Pre-Chorus]
With a child's heart it was hard
So hard to forget you
But as you see, boy
It ain't hard now, no no
It's a waste of time
To try and change my mind
I'm not the same young girl
That you left behind (Oh baby, now)
[Chorus]
And you're the loser now (You're the loser, you're the loser)
You're the loser now, my baby
You're the loser now (You're the loser, you're the loser)
You're the loser now, my baby
Oh baby

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh with a child's heart it was hard
So hard to forget you
But as you see, boy
It ain't hard now
It's a waste of time
To try and change my mind
I'm not the same young girl
That you left behind (Oh baby, now)

[Outro]
Come on, tell me (You're the loser, you're the loser)
How it feels to be the loser (You're the loser now, my baby)
Whatcha gonna do now? (You're the loser, you're the loser)
Now that you're the loser (You're the loser now, my baby)

C'mon and tell me (You're the loser, you're the loser)
C'mon tell me, baby (You're the loser now, my baby)
C'mon, won't you tell me (You're the loser, you're the loser)
How it feels to be the loser baby (You're the loser now, my baby)
Come on, come on, tell me (You're the loser, you're the loser)
