Winning Ugly
The Rolling Stones

from the album BLACK AND BLUE


I wanna be on top. 
Forever on the up and damn the competition. 
I never play it fair, 
I never turn a hair, 
just like the politicians. 
I wrap my conscience up. 
I wanna win that cup and get my money, baby. 
But, back in the dressing room 
the other side is weeping. 
And we're winning [winning], winning [winning] ugly. 
And we're winning [winning], winning [winning] ugly. 
And we're heading for the heartbreak, 
heading for the blues. Yeah. 
And we're heading for the heartbreak, 
heading for the blues. 
And we're winning [winning], winning [winning] ugly. 
I will not act unkind, 
I will not be so blind, 
I will not walk so proud, 
come down from off my cloud. 
How can I live my life this way? 
A beauty is staring me in the face, 
ain't that the truth? 
Ain't that the truth? 
Hold on, [Huuu huuu hu!] oh, c'mon girl. 
[Huuu huuu hu!] Ha, c'mon girl. 
Look out for number one. 
My country right or wrong, 
let the devil take the hindmost. 
I was brought up to cheat 
so long as the referee wasn't looking. 
I'm never wrong at all. 
I always fight the call. 
I don't admit it. 
But back in the dressing room 
the other side is a screaming. 
And we're winning [winning], winning [winning] ugly. Yeah.
And we're winning [winning], winning [winning] ugly. Ha, ha.
And we're heading for the heartbreak, 
heading for the blues, ya. 
And I'm heading for the heartbreak, 
heading for the blues. 
Yeah, and we're winning [winning], winning [winning] ugly, yeah. 
I will not act unkind, 
I will not be so blind, 
I will not walk so proud, 
come down from off my cloud. 
How can I live my life this way? 
A beauty is staring me in the face, 
ain't that the truth? 
Ain't that the truth? 
Come on baby! 
Come on girl!
A little bit louder!
Walk a little bit prouder!
[Huuu huuu hu!] 
Meow, wait I am, wait I am, wait I am ... 
[Huuu huuu hu!] 
Yeah, and we're winning [winning], winning [winning] ugly. 
That's allright.
Winning [winning], winning [winning], winning ugly.
Come on girl. 
Watch me saying [winning] winning [winning], winning ugly. 
Ah, and I'm winning [winning], winning [winning] winning ugly. 
Winning ugly!
Come on [winning], stay away [winning ugly], 
step over girl, step over girl, come on. 
Come on, [winning] come on [winning ugly] . 
It's allright, it's allright.
