The Rolling Stones - Winning Ugly Lyrics

The Rolling Stones Lyrics

"Winning Ugly"

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, (ooh ooh ooh!) oh, c'mon girl
(Ooh ooh ooh!) 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!
(Ooh ooh ooh!)
Meow, wait I am, wait I am, wait I am
(Ooh ooh ooh!)

Yeah, and we're winning (winning), winning (winning) ugly
That's alright
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 alright, it's alright
