Hmm, hmm, hmm-mmm I was raised an only child My folks died when I was four They were trapped in a fire Way up on the fourteenth floor Well, my lovin' granny raised me 'Til I reached the age of ten But the good Lord took her too And left my dog Jeff, my only friend Oh, baby Seem like the odds are against me Nothing works out right for me, ooh I've lost everything I've ever loved Honey, honey, now I'm losing you, baby I've lost everything I've ever, ever loved Honey, honey, now I'm losing you Ooh, baby So, all my love I gave to Jeff Cause he was all I had right then But the wheels of an automobile Brought his life to a tragic end From an orphan home to college Thought I found true love in you I felt sure we would marry But your folks did not approve Oh, baby Seem like the odds are against me Nothing works out right for me, ooh I've lost everything I've ever loved Now I'm losing you, oh I've lost everything I've ever loved, baby Honey, honey, now I'm losing you Ooh, baby You accepted their decision Without any type of defense They said if we wait a few more years That would make a little more sense So we waited three or four Everyday we kept in touch But when we came face to face You didn't love me quite as much Oh, baby Seem like the odds are against me Nothing works out right for me I've lost everything I've ever loved Baby, baby, baby, now I'm losin' you I've lost everything I've ever loved Now, I'm losin' you Now, I'm losin' you I've lost everything I've ever loved (Every, every, everything, ever) Now, I'm losin' you (Honey, now I'm losing you)
