I tried to hide from the fire
But theres no place that I can go
I tried to feel no desire
But I only felt my love grow
I need you so, without you I cant go on
My life has got no direction
You know Im helpless from the moment youre gone
I need youre loving and affection
So I want you to stay and you know that Ill do
Anything that you want me to
Cant afford to lose
Cant afford to lose your loving
I cant afford to lose
Cant afford to lose your loving
I cant afford to lose
Some people change their lovers and friends
Just like old shoes and cigarettes
Running around, their chase never ends
Always trying to find their match
No more illusions, got my feet on the ground
Cause Im chained by your attraction
I couldnt live alone, I want you around
Because I need your protection
So I beg you to stay and you know that Ill do
Anything that you want me to
Cant afford to lose
Cant afford to lose your loving
I cant afford to lose
Cant afford to lose your loving
I cant afford to lose
