The page contains the lyrics of the song "Poor Butterfly" by Nat "King" Cole.

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
