[Verse 1]
You laughed at me, you made me cry
You made a joke, then wonder why
I am a loser, I am a loser
I say hello, you say good-bye
I reach to you, you don't even try
I am a loser, I am a loser

[Refrain]
If losin' you makes me happy
Then why does it makes me cry
Losin' you makes you a winner
Then how did our love ever die?

[Verse 2]
I'm born to lose, you know it's true
And here I stand (Ooh-ooh), I'm losin' you
I am a loser, I am a loser
You are the one to let me know
You needed me, now I have to go
I am a loser (Alright), I am a loser

[Refrain]
If losin' you makes you happy
Then why does it makes me cry?
If losin' you makes you a winner
Then how did our love ever die? Ever die?

[Verse 3]
I am a fool, you know it's true
I believed in you (Ooh-ooh), now you don't even try
I am a loser (Alri-), I am a loser (Wh-what?)
What foolish kind of guy am I?
You break my heart, I wonder why
I am a loser (Alright), I am a loser (Ooh-ooh, alright)

[Chorus]
I am a loser (Baby), I am a loser (Ooh-ooh, alright)
I am a loser (Baby), I am a loser (Ooh-ooh, alright)
I am a loser, I am a loser (Ooh-ooh, alright! Alright!)
I am a loser (One more time, alright)
I am a loser (Ooh-ohh, let me win one time, alright)
I am a loser (I gotta win, gotta win, I can't lose)
I am a loser (Ooh-ooh, on my beggin' knees, on my beggin' knees)
I am a loser (Oh-ohh, alright), I am a loser (Ooh-ooh, hee, hee)
I am a loser (I am a loser, baby)
I am a loser (Ooh-ooh, I am a loser, baby)
I am a loser (I am a loser, uh)
I am a loser (Ooh-ooh, I am a loser, baby)
I am a loser (I am a loser, baby)
I am a loser (Ooh-ooh,I am a loser)
I am a loser (Let me win one time, let me win one time)
I am a loser (Ooh-ooh, Alright, hee)
I am a loser
I am a loser (Ooh-ooh, goodbye to you, goodbye to thee)
I am a loser (Goodbye to you, hello world)
I am a loser (Ooh-ooh, meet me tomorrow, meet me today)
I am a loser (Who knows who will win?)

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
