Ray Charles Born To Lose (Lyrics)
Born to lose, I've lived my life in vain
Every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose and now I'm losing you.
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 and now I'm losing you.
Born to lose, my every hope is gone
It's so hard to face that empty dawn
You were all the happiness I knew
Born to lose and now I'm losing you.
There's no use to dream of happiness
All I see is only loneliness
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose and now I'm losing you
Born to lose and now I'm losing you.

Born to lose and now I'm losing you.
Born to lose, it seems so hard to bear

You've grown tired and now you say we're through
Born to lose and now I'm losing you.
Born to lose, my every hope is gone
It's so hard to face that empty dawn
You were all the happiness I knew
Born to lose and now I'm losing you.
There's no use to dream of happiness
All I see is only loneliness
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose and now I'm losing you
Born to lose and now I'm losing you.









![Ray Charles Night Time Is the Right Time
Night Time Is the Right Time or The Right Time is a rhythm and blues song recorded by Nappy Brown in 1957. It draws on earlier blues songs and has inspired many subsequent versions, including a record chart hit versions by Ray Charles, Rufus and Carla, and James Brown.
Ray Charles recorded his version, titled (Night Time Is) The Right Time in October 1958. According to Brown, The difference between me and Ray Charless Night Time Is the Right Time ... is he had it up-tempo with Mary Ann and them behind him—the ladies [Charles female backup singers, the Raelettes]. I had mine in a slow tempo with a gospel group behind me. That was my gospel group. But he got everything just like mine, note for note. Margie Hendricks with Charles backup singers the Raelettes provided the accompaniment to Charles vocals. The song became a hit in 1959, when it reached number five in the Billboard R&B chart and number 95 in the pop chart. The song is included on the albums Ray Charles at Newport and The Genius Sings the Blues. Ray Charles Night Time Is the Right Time](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PuNzqDUvods/mqdefault.jpg)
