[Verse 1]
Dinner's ready
And the wine is chilled
My baby's coming over
Well, I know just how I feel
Because I don't wanna lose your love
Think how it feels, baby
It's gettin' harder to conceal, yeah
Do I fit in the life you've been livin', boy?
(Baby, say I do)
Do you feel all the love I've been givin' you?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, when you come home
Do you care to see me?
Things ain't the way they used to be, baby, but
I can't believe that's your only reason
You've got to say just what's the reason
Don't take my love for granted, boy
And then turn around and regret it, whoa
[Chorus]
I don't wanna lose your love (I don't wanna)
I don't wanna lose your love
Don't wanna lose your love (Don't wanna lose you)
I don't wanna lose your love (Oh, come on)
Come on and say that you will (Say you will)
I'll do the best to fulfill (I will be there)
I don't wanna lose your love
I don't wanna lose your love
I think you need my love
You can't defeat my love (My love)
You won't believe my love (Don't wanna lose you)
I don't wanna lose your love
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, hey, yeah, hey, hey, well
You just don't know, oh, whoa
What you do to me, well
I wanna ask you somethin'
Hey, baby, hey, baby
I think we can make it, how 'bout you?
But don't just send me away
To be alone, I don't (Away)
Think I can take it
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause if you tell me to go (Yeah, I will)
I will leave you, oh (For sure)
Don't ask me to stay and do me wrong, yeah
Do I fit in the life you've been livin', boy? (Baby, say I do)
Do you feel all my love I've been givin' you?
[Verse 3]
Whoa, I want the love you love, most of all
Now I'm the one you never call, baby, but
I don't think you really wanna leave me (No, no)
I think you're confused and you don't want to believe it (No, no)
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't take love and just walk away
(Don't take it and walk away)
With the guilt that you carry
You'll be back some day, whoa
[Chorus]
I don't wanna lose your love (I don't wanna)
I don't wanna lose your love
Don't wanna lose your love (Don't wanna lose you)
I don't wanna lose your love (Well)
Come on and say that you will
I'll be there to fulfill
I don't wanna lose your love
I don't wanna lose your love
I don't wanna lose your love
Don't wanna lose your love
Don't wanna lose your love
I don't wanna lose your love
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, hey, oh, yeah
Ooh, you just don't know
No, what you do to me
Well, well, ooh, ooh
[Outro]
I don't wanna lose, lose your love
I don't wanna lose, lose your love
I don't wanna lose, lose your love
I don't wanna lose, lose your love
I don't wanna lose, lose your love
I don't wanna lose, lose your love
