last night i sat my baby right down
and said the talk's all round the town
you're cheatin' while i work all day
i guess that feelin's finally gone
and i got so tired of spendin' my nights alone
so i packed my bags and i'm goin' away
but i sure would hate to lose your lovin' don't you know
if you said good-bye it just wouldn't feel right some how
'cause it felt so good
whole lot better than i thought it could
honey i hate to lose you now
well i swore i wouldn't sit and cry
'cause my baby left me both high and dry
wouldn't sit and pine gonna move on down the line
well i knew just what i had to do
had to find me some love that's new
'cause lovin's so easy to find
but i sure would hate to lose that lovin' don't you know
if you said good-bye it just wouldn't feel right some how
'cause it felt so good
whole lot better than i thought it could
honey i hate to lose you now
but i think it's gonna be all right
'cause i found a little girl last night
and she said you better just move on in
'cause i got my rent paid through next week and i'll be out tonight
but don't ya know i'll do my best to be back by ten
i sure would hate to lose that lovin' don't you know
if you said good-bye it just wouldn't feel right some how
'cause it felt so good
whole lot better than i thought it could
honey i hate to lose you now
don't you know
honey i hate to lose you now
tryin to tell you
honey i hate to lose you now
