It never happens like this in the movies
The guy gets the girl and they kiss in the end
And the funny best friend gets a spin off
So we can all root for them
And how does everyone get a jacuzzi
A rooftop view and I can barely pay rent
Not so funny when you kinda hate your day job
But can't afford to quit
Oooh why's it gotta be so hard
Oooh can't we just skip to the part
When I'm winning (OH YEAH)
Making me a killing (HELL YEAH)
I'll be buying Bentleys for my brother's kids
Take my momma on a trip
And it kills me (THAT I'M)
Pinching every penny (I FIND)
But I know someday I'll look back at this
Like it's winning when I'm winning
How did my parents make it all look easy
They worked really hard and it worked in the end
And they raised me to believe in the same things
But the world's so different
Now I'm pushing 30 with a roommate
Got a box of wine and a loaf of bread
I need new brakes and I'm praying
That I'll make it home again
Oooh why's it gotta be so hard
Oooh can't we just skip to the part
When I'm winning (OH YEAH)
Making me a killing (HELL YEAH)
I'll be buying Bentleys for my brother's kids
Take my momma on a trip
And it kills me (THAT I'M)
Pinching every penny (I FIND)
But I know someday I'll look back at this
Like it's winning when I'm winning
So caught up in what I might be missing
But I'm tryna make the most of the space
Between the end and the beginning
Oooh Oooh
So caught up in what I might be missing
But i'm tryna make the most
Of the space between the end and the beginning
When I'm winning (OH YEAH)
Making me a killing (HELL YEAH)
I'll be buying Bentleys for my brother's kids
Take my momma on a trip
And it kills me (THAT I'M)
Pinching every penny (I FIND)
But I know someday I'll look back at this
Like it's winning when I'm winning
So caught up in what I might be missing
But I'm tryna make the most of the space
Between the end and the beginning
Someday I'll look back and laugh
Raise a toast through my champagne glass
To my messed up beginning
Cause I was winning I was winning
