Lyrics

The Loser You Think I Am

Verse: I?ve got cards I should be showin?
I?ve got aces up my sleeve
I got a boat I should be rowin?
But my boat has sprung a leak
I?ve got half a mind to lose my obligations
I?m one step from stepping out

Chorus: But I?ve got a reason
To do what I can
If I don?t I have become the loser you think I am

Verse: Big dreamers make good conversation
You?d say big dreams take big time
But my low pay occupation
Ain?t quite what you had in mind
But my nine to five direction had to suffer
As my five to nine devotion stole my heart

Chorus: But I?ve got a reason
To do what I can
If I don?t I have become the loser you think I am

Bridge: Sooner or later in every romance
Matters of the heart become matters of finance
The strong will survive and I hear the weak have to die
It?s a fine line we have broken but it?s one that counts the most
If you have no faith in me we have no hope

Verse: But I?ve got cards and I will be playin?
I will pull tricks from my sleeve
If I see dragons I will be slayin?
I?m down but I?m not beat
You like to say you left ?cause I?m a quitter
I prefer to say you left ?cause you know I?m not

Chorus: Now I?ve got a reason to carry out my plan
If I don?t I have become the loser you think I am
And I?m not the loser you think I am
