The Winner
Natalie Cole

Written by C. Jackson, M. Yancy and G. Barge


In this world of make believe I must confess


To be number one you've got to do it better


And if you strive to be happy you'll find success


Perspectively you've got to pull it together


Nothing good will come to you if you don't see


A reason for victory


Everybody loves the winner


Only the winner can really make things happen


Everybody loves the winner, so be the winner, I know you are


If there's something you'd like to do you've never done


Don't let fear stand in your way


Just collect your dreams and thoughts and get on the run


I wouldn't wait another day


You can be the best in everything you do


When it thawls out, it's all up to you


Everybody loves the winner (everybody loves the winner)


Only a winner can really make things happen


Everybody loves a winner (everybody loves a winner)


So be the winner you are


Be a winner, ooh (yes you can, yes you can, yes you can)


Be a winner, ooh (yes you can, yes you can, yes you can)


Be a winner, a winner, a winner, yes you can


'cause everybody (everybody) loves (loves a winner)


The winner, so be a winner


You can only make things happen


Everybody (everybody) loves a winner (loves a winner)


So be the winner, I know you are


Every (everybody), everybody, (loves a winner)


Really loves the winner, (so be a winner)


Only the winner can really make things happen


Everybody (everybody) loves the winner (loves a winner)


So be a winner (so be a winner), I know you are if you really try


Be a winner, you know you can, you know you can


You know you can be a winner


(yes you can, yes you can, yes you can)


Scat (yes you can, yes you can, yes you can)


Scat


(everybody) yeah, (loves a winner)


Scat


(everybody loves a winner)


(everybody) everybody really loves a winner (loves a winner)!
