Shirley and Slim, standing on the corner,
trying to find a way ... another quarter
...just another piece of cake
...

[CHORUS:]
I don't wanna lose, lose you,
I don't wanna lose, lose you,
I don't wanna lose, lose you,
I don't wanna lose you.

... getting kind-a high
Keep it in my pocket 'til it ... runnin' shy
Over and over til the day is done,....

[Chorus]

..., whiskey and wine, you know it's just a matter of time.
I don't wanna lose you.

[Instrumental Break]

Yeah just like the dead man laying about,
don't wanna ...inside out
..., you I'm, I'm speaking the truth.

[Chorus]
{Guitar Solo]

Lose, lose you (repeat)
