I'm a loser, that's what they said, that's what they said

Now I got their women lyin' in my bed

The speaker now has the romantic interest of those who criticized them.

Buy me a drink wishin' I was dead

People buy the speaker drinks, perhaps out of pity or regret.

Reaffirmation of self-identity as a loser.

I'm a loser

Continued acknowledgment of being a loser.

I'm a loser and I don't know their names, don't know their names

Admitting ignorance about the identities of those around them.


Call me a superstar, play that game

Cost you a million just to sign your name

Highlighting the high cost of fame and success.

Big wide smile gonna bring me down

Son of a bitch, you can't steal my sound

A defiant declaration that the speaker's unique style cannot be stolen.
