I Don't Wanna Lose
Lime Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Denis LePage, Denyse LePage)

(Chorus 1)
Baby, baby
I don't wanna lose you, oh no
Baby, baby
I don't wanna lose you
(Chorus 2)
Even when you say you're gonna leave me
I don't wanna know what you say is true

I don't mean to make you so unhappy
I never thought that you could make me cry

(Repeat Chorus 1)

(Repeat Chorus 2)

Could it be that you just want to hurt me?
Sometimes you don't even let me try

But I know that you love me when you tell me
Magic ways that treasures cannot buy

(Instrumental Break)

(Repeat Chorus 1)

(Repeat Chorus 2)

(Repeat First Verse)

Baby, baby
Baby, baby





(Repeat Chorus 1 and Fade)
