Winning Ugly by The Rolling Stones Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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, come on girl
Come on girl
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
And we're winning (winning), winning (winning) ugly, yeah
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, yeah
And we're winning (winning), winning (winning) ugly
[Post-Chorus]
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?
[Outro]
Come on baby
Come on girl
A little bit louder
Walk a little bit prouder
Wait I am, wait I am, wait I am
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
And I'm winning (winning), winning (winning) winning ugly
Winning ugly
Come on (winning), stay away (winning ugly)
Step on it girl, step on it girl, come on
Come on, (winning) come on (winning ugly)
It's alright, it's alright
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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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, come on girl
Come on girl
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
And we're winning (winning), winning (winning) ugly, yeah
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, yeah
And we're winning (winning), winning (winning) ugly
[Post-Chorus]
I will not act unkind, I will not be so blind
I will not walk so proud, come down from off my cloud

Ain’t that the truth?
Ain’t that the truth?
[Outro]
Come on baby

Wait I am, wait I am, wait I am
Yeah, and we're winning (winning), winning (winning) ugly
That's alright
Winning (winning), winning (winning), winning ugly
