There were three happy people that I used to know But one of them was foolish and let the other two go Now two of them are together but for one it's too bad Two from three is one lonely people I never could add The only thing I ever add was the baby in our home But both of them were mistreated now the two of them are gone Just for one careless moment I lost all I had Two from three is one lonely people I never could add Add something with something and you can't gain anything But take take something from something and you can lose everything My misfortune was adding I couldn't build on what I had Two from three is one lonely people I never could add
