I'm a Loser Lyrics

I'm a Loser
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Of all the love I have won, and have lost
There is one love I should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million my friend
I should have known she would win in the end

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry?

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

What have I done to deserve such a fate?
I realize I have left it too late
And so it's true pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

I'm a Loser Song Chart

John Lennon wrote this and also sang lead. He considered it one of his best early songs

Lennon: "Me in my Dylan period... part of me suspects I'm a loser and part of me thinks I'm God almighty."

John Lennon wrote this on a plane while The Beatles were touring with Jackie DeShannon . It was a songwriting departure from the lighter fare Lennon and McCartney previously wrote.

John Lennon's lowest recorded note as a Beatle is a G, which he hits in this song. He also sings the G in the last "going down" of "Happiness Is A Warm Gun." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France, for above 2)
