Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
Josie's on a vacation far away Come around and talk it over So many things that I want to say You know I like my girls a little bit older I just want to use your love tonight I don't want to lose your love tonight I ain't got many friends left to talk to Nowhere to run when I'm in trouble You know I'd do anything for you Stay the night but keep it under cover I just want to use your love tonight I don't want to lose your love tonight Try to stop my hands from shaking But something in my mind's not making sense It's been a while since we were all alone But I can't hide the way I'm feeling As you're leaving please would you close the door? And don't forget what I told you Just 'cause you're right that don't mean I'm wrong Another shoulder to cry upon I just want to use your love tonight I don't want to lose your love tonight I just want to use your love tonight I don't want to lose your love tonight I just want to use your love tonight I don't want to lose your love tonight Use your love, lose your love, your love! I don't want to lose your love tonight (I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna) Lose your love tonight (your love) Lose your love tonight (your love) Lose your love tonight (your love) (Lose your) I don't want to lose your love tonight
