Don't you know you're gonna lose If you love somebody that don't love you? You'll believe him when he's untrue But I can't bear seein' him break your heart in two I've let it happen much too long Should I wait, hopin' you'll find out on your own? It's me who's loved you for so long If he hurts you with his lies Don't let it take too long to open your eyes You're gonna see through his disguise But I can't bear seein' him break your heart in two I'm tired of tryin' to play it cool Should I wait, hopin' you'll find out on your own? The one you love is just a fool If I had the chance I'd make you see When you fall in love how it should be A love that makes you sad can only turn out bad So I'll be hangin' 'round until you're free Don't you know you're gonna lose If you love somebody that don't love you? You'll believe him when he's untrue But I can't bear seein' him break your heart in two I've let it happen much too long Should I wait, hopin' you'll find out on your own? It's me who's loved you for so long
