Innocence is a losers' game

You won the big prize, all that money
you felt on top but what's with honey ?
yes she sure did steal you blind
and the kids were most unkind
they took it all, even the house
wanted you quiet as a mouse
and your mistress took you in
hoping that again you'd win

      Innocence is allright
      but it's just a losers' game
      like some crazy cry for help
      it's nobody's real name
      innocence is a losers' game

Now baby sure was good to you
did everything you told her to
frilly frilly on the run
and your best friend was such fun
now they've gone away together
first you thought you'better let her
but now clouds by the airplane's wing
look more enduring than that fling
