(Gary Moore)

Baby, I used to be the kind anyone could burn.
But now I've left those days behind,
and it's time for the wheel to turn.
Baby, I used to be so easy to take for a ride.
But now I've learned to play the game,
and my eyes are always open wide.

I was the one who would listen to you,
when you handed me all of your lies (all of your lies).
But those days have gone, and it's time you caught on,
'cause this time nothin's gonna get by.

Don't take me for a loser.
Don't take me for a loser, 'cause I'm gonna win.
Don't take me for a fool, baby.
'Cause it would take a fool to lose you again.

Baby, you used to be the one who could run around.
But now my heart is in my head,
and nothing you have said can pull me down.
One day, I told you everything would come back on you.
And now you've had all your chances,
and your one night romances are through.

I was the one who would listen to you,
when you handed me all of your lies (all of your lies).
But those days have gone, and it's time you caught on,
'cause this time nothin's gonna get by.

Don't take me for a loser.
Don't take me for a loser, 'cause I'm gonna win.
Don't take me for a fool, baby.
'Cause it would take a fool to lose you again.

Don't take me for a loser.

Don't take me for a loser.
Don't take me for a loser, 'cause I'm gonna win.
Don't take me for a fool baby.
'Cause it would take a fool to lose you again.

Don't take me for a loser.
Don't take me for a loser, 'cause I'm gonna win.
Don't take me for a fool baby.
