Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dinner's ready
And the wine is chilled
My baby's comin' over
Well, I know just how I feel

Because I don't wanna lose your love
Think how it feels, baby
It's getting harder to conceal, yeah
Do I fit in the life you've been livin', boy {Baby, say I do}
Do you feel all the love I've been givin' you

Oh, when you come home, do you care to see me
Things ain't the way they used to be, baby
But I can't believe that you don't wanna leave
You've got to say just what's the reason
Don't take my love for granted, boy
And then turn around and do me dirty, whoa

I don't wanna lose your love (I don't wanna)
I don't wanna lose your love (Ooh...ooh...)
Don't wanna lose your love (Don't wanna lose you)
I don't wanna lose your love (Oh, come on)

Come on and say that you will (Just say you will)
I'll do the best to fulfill (I will be there)
I don't wanna lose your love
I don't wanna lose your love

I think you need my love
You can't defeat my love (My love)
You won't believe my love (Don't wanna lose you)
I don't wanna lose your love

Hey, hey, yeah....hey, hey, well
You just don't know
Oh...whoa...what you do to me, well
I wanna ask you somethin'
Hey, baby, hey, baby
I think we can make it, how ‘bout you
But don't just send me away to be alone {Away}
I don't think I can take it

‘Cause if you tell me to go {Oh, I will}
I will leave you {For sure}, oh
Don't ask me to stay and do me wrong, yeah
Do I fit in the life you've been livin', boy {Baby, say I do}
Do you feel all my love I've been givin' you

Whoa, I was the one you loved most of all
Now I'm the one, you never call, baby
But I don't think you really wanna leave me {No, no}
I think you're confused {No, no} and you don't want to believe it
You can't take love and just walk away
With the guilt that you carry, you'll be back some day, whoa

I don't wanna lose your love (I don't wanna)
I don't wanna lose your love (Mmm...hmm...)
Don't wanna lose your love (Don't wanna lose you)
I don't wanna lose your love (Well)

Come on and say that you will
I'll do the best to fulfill
I don't wanna lose your love
I don't wanna lose your love

I don't wanna lose your love
Don't wanna lose your love
Don't wanna lose your love
I don't wanna lose your love

Yeah...hey
Oh, yeah, mmm
You just don't know
No, what you do to me, well, well
Ooh, ooh, well

I don't wanna lose, lose your love
I don't wanna lose, lose your love
I don't wanna lose, lose your love
I don't wanna lose, lose your love





I don't wanna lose, lose your love
I don't wanna lose, lose your love
