[Intro]
Mmm
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Mmm
[Verse 1]
When you're a winner
Everybody is on your side (On your side)
Claiming you made it
With the help that they supply (They supply)
[Pre-Chorus]
But when you lose, they swear
You did it on your own
They lie to save their necks, huh
And let you take the wrath alone
[Chorus]
"You're the one who did it"
They all claim
The finger pointers
Woo, look at 'em, look at 'em
See the way they cop out
Of the blame
The finger pointers
Woo, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hmmm
[Verse 2]
When you're a winner
Everybody is taking bows (Taking bows)
Patting their backs
And claiming they all taught you how (Taught you how)
[Pre-Chorus]
But when you lose, you'll find
Before the ship goes down
They'll jump overboard, yes, they will
And stand around, and watch you drown
[Chorus]
"You're the one who did it"
They all claim
The finger pointers
Look at 'em, look at 'em
See the way they cop out
Of the blame
The finger pointers
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
But when you lose, they swear
You did it on your own
They lie to save their necks, huh
And let you take the wrath alone
[Chorus]
"You're the one who did it"
They all claim
The finger pointers
Look at 'em, look at 'em
See the way they cop out
Of the blame
The finger pointers
Oh
("You're the one who did it")
When you're a winner
(They all claim)
Everybody's on your side
(The finger pointers)
I'm talkin' about, yeah
(See the way they cop out)
Everybody's takin' vows
(Of the blame)
(The finger pointers)
