I'm Loser

The Beatles

I'm a loser, I'm a loser

And I'm not what I appear to be

Of all the love I have won or 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 realise 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

About this Song

I'm a Loser by The Beatles is a reflective and introspective song where the protagonist admits to feeling like a failure or a 'loser' in the face of lost love. The lyrics explore themes of self-doubt, heartache, and vulnerability, moving away from the band's earlier carefree image. John Lennon's poignant admission of 'And so it's true, pride comes before a fall' captures the essence of the song's acknowledgment of personal shortcomings and the emotional pain of romantic disappointment.
