The Rolling Stones - Winning Ugly lyrics

rate me

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

I wanna be on top

Forever on the up

And damn the competition

I never play it fair

I never turn a hair

Just like the politicians

I wrap my conscience up

I wanna win that cup

And get my money baby

But back in the dressing room

The other side is weeping

And we're winning, winning ugly

And we're winning, winning ugly

And we're heading for the heartbreak

Heading for the blues

We're heading for the heartbreak

Heading for the blues

And we're winning, winning ugly

And we're winning, winning ugly

I will not act unkind

I will not be so blind

I will not walk so proud

Come down from off my cloud

How can I live my life this way?

Beauty is staring me in the face

Ain't that the truth

Ain't that the truth

Hold on, come on girl

Hold on

Look out for number one

My country right or wrong

Let the devil take the hindmost

I was brought up to cheat

So long as the referee wasn't looking

I'm never wrong at all

I always fight the call

I don't admit it

But back in the dressing room

The other side is screaming

And we're winning, winning ugly, yeah

And we're winning, winning ugly

And we're heading for the heartbreak

Heading for the blues

We're heading for the heartbreak

Heading for the blues

And we're winning, winning ugly

I will not act unkind

I will not be so blind

I will not walk so proud

Come down from off my cloud

How can I live my life this way

Beauty is staring me in the face

Ain't that the truth

Ain't that the truth?

Come on baby, come on girl

A little bit louder

Walk a little bit prouder

And we're winning, winning ugly, that's alright

And we're winning, winning ugly, come on girl

And we're winning, winning ugly

And we're winning, winning ugly, winning ugly
