I DON'T WANNA BE A LOSER
(Mark Barkan / Ben Raleigh)

as recorded by Lesley Gore
1964


I don't wanna be a loser,
I don't wanna have a broken heart!
Oh I don't wanna be a loser,
I don't want another girl to tear us apart!

Tell me, what can I do
To keep from losin' you,
'Cause I could never live
Without your love!

I don't wanna be, no I don't wanna be a loser,
I don't wanna hear you say goodbye!
Oh I don't wanna be a loser,
End up with a million tears that I'll have to cry!

Oh, I'll fight with all my might,
Kiss you and hold you tight
Until you say I'm right;
I don't wanna be a loser in love!

I don't wanna be a loser,
I don't want another girl to tear us apart!

Now please tell me, what can I do
To keep from losin' you,
'Cause I could never live
Without your love!

A loser in love, in love,
I don't wanna be a loser in love!
Oh I don't wanna be a loser in love,
I don't wanna be a loser in love!
