I Don't Like To Lose
Group Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never thought that it could be
This kind of life for you and me
If you think you love someone else
Then show me the man, maybe I'll understand
'Cause I've done all I can
So I can't understand
I remember what we had going
Over and over on moonlit nights
Lord I still feel the passion flowing
Making a fool of me
What about those expensive places
How you danced, leaving me all alone
Yeah! I still remember those faces
Making a fool of me
Taking a chance on a fool like me
Was it all in the name of liberty
Now you know there's no easy way out
Baby! not this time

[Chorus]
I don't want to lose, such tears of emotion
I don't want to lose, in all this commotion

You're making a fool out of me
Your guilt and your strange behavior
You should know you can't hide it from me
Yet still I could kill or die for
Anything you'd ask of me
Taking a chance on a fool like me
Was it all in the name of liberty
Now you know there's no easy way out
Baby! not this time





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

In the song "I Don't Like To Lose," the artist expresses the pain and confusion of betrayal in a relationship.

The line "If you think you love someone else, then show me the man, maybe I'll understand" points to the singer's desperation to hold on to the relationship and for his partner to prove him wrong.


The second verse brings up memories of the happy moments they shared, but also of the ones where the singer was made to feel small and foolish. The chorus further emphasizes the singer's emotional turmoil and the desperation to not lose his partner. The line "You're making a fool out of me" shows the singer's realization that he's been played all along, and although he's angry, he'd still do anything for his love.


Overall, the song's message is one of heartbreak and betrayal, as the singer tries to hold on to what's left of a fading love.
