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??
