I thought we would always be together The love we shared was gonna last forever Once I was your one and only Now here I sit, mister lonely [Chorus] He'll hold you tonight, but I won't What's he got that I don't The one thing I thought I'd never lose He's got you Beneath this dark cloud you left me under Can't sort it out so I'll sit and wonder Tell myself, "It hurts, don't it" Now my empty heart will be forever haunted [Chorus: x2] Oh, he's got you.
