I'm born to lose I've lived my life in vain every dream has only brought me pain All my life I've always been so blue born to lose and now I'm losing you Born to lose it seems so hard to bear how I long to always have you near You've grown tired and now you say we're through born to lose and now I'm losing you [ dobro ] I'm born to lose my every hope is gone it's so hard to face an empty dawn And you were all the happiness I knew I'm born to lose and now I'm losing you
