[Verse 1]
I fell in love about a year ago
It ended before it got started
I met another girl about six months later
And I wound up brokenhearted
But when I met you, I thought my luck had changed
I said, "Here comes happiness"
But you fooled around, and you put me down
Just like all the rest
[Chorus]
And baby I'm just a three-time loser
Don't you know that I never can win

I just got to get away
So I'll pack up my things and catch the very next train
And leave this town today
[Chorus]
Don't you know that I'm just a three-time loser
And I never, I never can win
(Three-time loser)
Oh baby, I'm just a three-time loser
And I ain't gonna try again
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
I'm just a three-time loser
And I never, I never
(Three-time loser)
Hey, I'm just a three-time loser
And I ain't gonna try again
No, oh, no, no, I'm a three-time loser
And I—
