An outtake from _Nazz Nazz_, not released until _Nazz III_ two years later.
One of the first examples (cf. 'Old Time Lovemaking', also on _Nazz III_)
of Laura Nyro's influence on Todd Rundgren.

It's a fight   for  life, if I lose you I'll die
Fmaj7      Em7         Dm7         [1: G7  2, 3: C]
Somebody's got to lose you and that's why

Verse 2:

There is only one winner
There is no second place
I only know I must be the winner
There is nothing to lose but the sight of your face
I can't stay around if I know you're not mine
Somebody's gonna be lost in your mind

Verse 3:

There is only one winner
You're the one to decide
You've got to tell me who is the winner
Tell me who gets the broken heart, who gets the bride
Not a thing I can do - it depends upon you
But nobody wants to win more than I do
