I'm Gonna Win
Foreigner Lyrics

Another dark night, in the city
The scene is set in a city on a dark night.

And my prospects lookin' thin
The situation appears bleak and opportunities are scarce.

The survival, of the fittest
Only the strongest survive in this world.

Is the law, in the world that I live in
The environment where the person operates is shaped by this rule.

I was not born, to be a fighter
By nature, the person is not someone who usually fights.

But now's the time I have to learn
Yet, the current circumstances require the person to acquire the skills of a fighter.

To keep my head, above the water
The person needs to keep their head above water, to keep themselves afloat.

Gotta play with fire, but not get burned
Nevertheless, the person must risk and face danger, but without getting hurt.

I gotta stand up, I gotta face it
The stakes are high, and the person must stand and face the situation.

Don't want to lose it

I want to taste it while it's hot

Don't want to waste it, I need it so bad

I'm gonna win, yeah
The person is confident that they will succeed.

You see it's a matter of pride
Success is a matter of personal pride for the person.

Deep down inside
The motivation to win resides deep within the person's heart and soul.

I got no time, to sit and wonder
The person has no luxury of time to sit and ponder, but needs to act fast.

I got myself, to reckon with
The person has to face the consequences of their own choices and actions.

Yeah and life won't drag me under
The person will not succumb to the pressures of life but will overcome them.

Even if it takes, all I have to give
The person is willing to give their all to achieve success.

I'll give it all
The person is committed to giving everything they have to succeed.

Ooh I want to taste it while it's hot

My mind's made up
The person's decision to win is firm and resolute.

I tell you, see when it comes down to the crunch

I've gotta beat life to the punch

Somehow I know I'm gonna win
The person's confidence in their plans and abilities is high.

I've got to fight to stay alive
For the person, winning is not just an option, but a matter of survival.

Kick it in to overdrive
The person is getting into high gear, giving it all they've got.

Ooh, ooh, ooh. I'm gonna win
The excitement of winning is growing, and the person is confident in their success.

Ooh, I'll pay the price

No more Mr. Nice

Hey, just watch me roll the dice

I know I'm gonna win
