Lyrics Winning Ugly - The Rolling Stones

Winning Ugly

I want to 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 want to 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
Aren’t that the truth?
Isn’t that the truth?
Hold on, (Huuu huuu hu!) oh, come on girl
(Huuu huuu hu!) Ha, come on 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
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
