Circle left
*Born to lose I've lived my life in vain
Left allemande, weave the ring
**All my dreams have only brought me pain
Dosado, men star by the left
***All my life I've always been so blue
Swing and promenade
Born to lose and now I'm losing you

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Born to lose, it seems so hard to bear
**How I long to always have you near
***You've grown tired and now you say we're through

*Born to lose, my only hope is gone
**How I hate to face that empty dawn
***You're the only happiness I've known

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade, sides (heads) a dosado
Heads (sides) go all the way around, sides (heads) square thru
Count four hands, slide thru and then swing thru
Spin the top, swing that girl
Left allemande and promenade
Born to lose and now I'm losing you
