I used to think it was my imagination.
The minute I'd stand up,
someone knocked me down.
I opened my eyes to a bad, bad situation.
Now all I got left is a suitcase full of blues.
It's not somethin' that we get to choose.
We've got one thing in common,
we were...
I used to see with the vision of a blind man
I lost my sight, I was starin' at the sun.
I felt like a fool everyone forgotten,
born under a bad sign,
forever payin' dues.
It's not somethin' gonna make the news.
Got one thing in common,
we were born to lose.
(Born to lose)
Born to lose
(Born to lose)

I had a sweet little angel,
she meant everything to me.
With a touch of her hand,
she would bring me to my knees.
Now then came this letter.
Well, she was on the loose.
Now it's time for me to put on,
put on my walkin' shoes.
It's not somethin' that we get to choose.
(Don't get to choose, no, no).
We got one thing in common,
we were born to lose.
We were born to lose.
(Born to lose)
Born to lose
We were born to lose.
I used to see with the vision of a blind man.
I lost my sight, I was starin' at the sun.
I felt like a fool everyone forgotten,
born under a bad sign,
forever payin' dues.
It's not somethin' that we get to choose.
We've got one thing in common,
we were born to lose,
born to lose.
Baby needs new shoes and we were...
(Needs new shoes)
...born to lose.
Born to lose
Born to lose
(Born to lose)
