The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
You and I had something special, baby Something that you only see on movie screens, I know Lately, I've been missing you like crazy Oh, why, why'd you let me in just to let me go? Most guys will get high when feeling low But I don't think that that's the way to go Sometimes I'll be sitting on my own Thinking 'bout life, thinking 'bout you and me How do you lose the one you love? After giving it all, you gave it up Maybe my love wasn't enough You think you know, but you never can How do you lose your only plan? Well darling, just give me one more chance And I'll give you everything I have I'll try to be a better man I felt things when we were naked I saw an angel, but they've hidden their wings, I know Everyone's got that special baby Oh, I, now I only see you in my dreams Most guys will get high when feeling low But I don't think that that's the way to go Sometimes I'll be sitting on my own Thinking 'bout life, thinking 'bout you and me How do you lose the one you love? After giving it all, you gave it up Maybe my love wasn't enough You think you know, but you never can How do you lose your only plan? Well darling, just give me one more chance And I'll give you everything I have I'll try to be a better man I've been up and I've been down Think that's just what love's about You took the words right out my mouth If you feel it, say it now It's been a while but I've figured it out But it ain't just what love's about? You took the words right out my mouth But if you feel it, say it now How do you lose the one you love? (how do you lose?) After giving it all, you gave it up And maybe my love wasn't enough You think you know, but you never can And how do you lose your only plan? Well darling, just give me one more chance And I'll give you everything I have I'll try to be a better man
