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
