i lost it

kenny chesney

i had a hundred dollar ring in my hand

so weak and tired i could barely stand

from being up all night

prayin' she'd say yes

so with a hopeful heart i hit one knee

with a tear in her eye she looked at me

it was the moment of truth

i was scared to death

my life hung on what that tear meant

then she smiled at me

and i lost it

no one can make me cry

make me laugh

make me smile

or drive me mad like she does

it's like a curse that is the cure

better or worse

one thing's for sure

it's real love and i don't know what i'd do

if i lost it

well the honeymoon ended and life began

jobs and bills

losing touch with friends

and that apartment got smaller every day

then one night the walls finally closed in

i came home late

she said where've ya been

you used to call and tell me you're on your way

she said if this is how it's gonna be

then i quit

she walked out the door

i lost it

no one can make me cry

make me laugh

make me smile

or drive me mad like she does

it's like a curse that is the cure

better or worse

one thing's for sure

it's real love and i don't know what i'd do

if i lost it

i picked myself up off the floor

she walked back through the door

and we made love like it was the first time

no one can make me cry

make me laugh

make me smile

or drive me mad like she does

it's like a curse that is the cure

better or worse

one thing's for sure

it's real love and i don't know what i'd do

if i lost it

oh

if i lost it

i don't wanna lose it
