Lyrics
Make Yourself a Winner
words and music by David Rimelis © 2012
(chorus)
You've got to make yourself a winner everyday,
Cause there ain't nobody out there giving happiness away,
Just use the things you've got and forget the things your not,
and make yourself a winner everyday.
(verse 1)
How often I have heard my neighbor cry,
he said if I could hit that lottery i'd be ridin' high,
But I know that isn't so cause even if he had the dough,
peace of mind ain't somethin' you can just go out and buy
(chorus)
You've got to make yourself a winner everyday,
Cause there ain't nobody out there giving happiness away,
Just use the things you've got and forget the things your not,
and make yourself a winner everyday.
(verse 2)
So many lonely people that I meet,
they think they need somebody else to make their life complete
I say someone might adore you, but they still can't do that for you,
your the only one on earth that can accomplish such a feat,
(chorus)
You've got to make yourself a winner everyday,
Cause there ain't nobody out there giving happiness away,
Just use the things you've got and forget the things your not,
and make yourself a winner everyday.
(chorus)
You've got to make yourself a winner everyday,
Cause there ain't nobody out there giving happiness away,
Just use the things you've got and forget the things your not,
and make yourself a winner everyday.
You've got to make yourself a winner, each day your a beginner,
so make yourself a winner every day
