Hold on this song has a little introduction to it
It's ain't supposed to be sad though you might feel it that way
It's a song about desperation, 
Every now and then we do get desperate

This is a song about L-O-V-E, 
And if you abuse it you're gonna lose it 
And if you lose it you're gonna 'buse and 
If you 'buse it you ain't gonna be able to choose it 
'Cause you ain't gonna  have it further on down the line 
Things ain't gonna be so fine 
You're gonna to be sitting there on your little machine 
Trying to look and keep it clean and 
You're going to be home playing bingo all night all alone 
And that's why your sitting there by the telephone 
And you know that she ain't going to call you!

So you put on the TV and you're watching Johnny Carson 
Segwaying right into the Tomorrow show 
But that don't got the go so you turn it off ya turn on the radio, 
The radio don't seem to get the click so you say 
"Hey Man, I can't lickety split" 
You start to open up a little book 
And there's something there you got to overlook 
And you say "BABY, you know there's somethin on my mind!
"You say "Baby there's somethin on my mind - 
I know that you're home and I know you ain't all alone! "

So you start walking over to her house 
And you get over to her house 
And you walk over to her door and 
You start poundin on her door and you say 
"Open up the door bitch!? 
This is wooba gooba with the green teeth, let me in!!"

Well, she opens up the door 
And then you just kinda walk up to her and say 
"Baby", (say Baby!) you look up way up at her green mascara 
And you say "Oh my darling, 
You know her and me was at the party as friends -
Do not believe what they say 
That's only gossip that they tellin ya - 
A wise crack of lies!" 
You say Darling!!!

Take your big curls and squeeze them down Ratumba - 
What's the name of the chick with the long hair? 
(Rapunzel!) Hey Rapunzel! 
Heh heh... Hey Reputa the beautah! Reputa the Beautah! 
Hey Reputa the Beautah flip me down your hair 
And let me climb up to the ladder of your love!! 
Because this is the wooba gooba sayin to ya 
"Love comes once and when it comes 
You better grab it fast 'cause sometimes the love 
You grab ain't gonn' last and 
I believe I musta, 
You know I think I musta, 
You know baby I think I musta,
You know I think I musta,
I musta got lost!!!!!!!

1?2?.3?

(Sung)
Never thought about tomorrow 
Seemed like a long time to come 
How could I be so blind, baby 
Not to see you were the one 

I let ya slip on from me baby 
I let ya walk on by, 
Shoulda loved, you told me 
I refused to love, I let it die 

Musta got lost, musta got lost, musta got lost 
Somewhere down the line 
Musta got lost, musta got lost 
Give away the day you were mine 

Don't know why I let you leave me 
Honey I don?t know 
See its hard to see lovin' comin baby 
But I have a way to see it go 

Musta got lost, musta got lost, musta got lost 
Somewhere down the line 
Musta got lost, I got lost 
Give away the day you were mine 

Love can be a sweet thing 
Girl I just don't understand 
Made a game outta lovin' you 
Now I hold a losin' hand 

Musta got lost, musta got lost, musta got lost 
Somewhere down the line 
Musta got lost, I got lost girl
Give away the day you were mine

I just don't understand it 
I just don't understand it
I just don't understand it

And I musta got lost, musta got lost, musta got lost 
Somewhere down the line, hey 
Musta got lost, baby, I got lost girl
Give away the day you were mine

Musta got lost, I got lost, musta got lost 
Somewhere down the line 
Musta got lost, I got lost girl
Give away the day you were mine

C?mon
Oh, I got lost, double-crossed
Your lovin, give it to me all night long

(Instrumental Break)

I said your love got me higher, 
Than I ever been lifted before

I said your love got me higher, 
Than I ever been lifted before??

Somewhere???????
