Always On A Mountain When I Fall

                                          Most of my life
                                          I've almost been a winner;
                                          I've come so close,
                                          But never really won...
                                          Just when I thought
                                          I'd finally made it
                                          I find myself back where I started from

                                          I hate to say I'm giving up,
                                          But I believe
                                          Losing's just become a way life with me
                                          Losin' wouldn't be so bad at all -
                                          But I'm always on a mountain when I fall.....

                                          Then you came along
                                          And had me...had me believin'
                                          For once in my life, my luck
                                          Had finally changed;
                                          And now, you say you're gonna leave me -
                                          Seems everything I do winds up the same....

                                          I hate to say I'm giving up,
                                          But I believe
                                          Losing's just become a way life with me
                                          Losin' wouldn't be so bad at all -
                                          But I'm always on a mountain when I fall;

                                          Losin' wouldn't be so bad at all -
                                          But I'm always on a mountain when I fall.....
