I Don't Want To Lose Her
Rick Astley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna lose her
I don't wanna lose her

They told me that she had found somebody new
But I don't believe it
They said I would soon find out she was untrue
But I just can't see it
Maybe I am wrong to doubt it
And now that I think about it
If ever I lost her love
I'd be nothing, nothing without it

I don't wanna lose her, lose that girl
After all that we've been through
I don't wanna lose her, lose that girl of mine
(Lose that girl of mine)

I couldn't imagine life without her love
I just couldn't take it
If you wanted to know how well I would get on
I don't think I'd make it

Maybe I just don't show her
And now that I think it's over
I maybe should shout about it
'Cause I'd be nothing, nothing without it

I don't wanna lose her, lose that girl
After all that we've been through
I don't wanna lose her, lose that girl of mine
(Lose that girl of mine)

I'm gonna make a new start
And bring her back to my heart
'Cause what I found out about her
I just cannot live without her

Maybe I just don't show her
And now that I think it's over




I maybe should shout about it
'Cause I'd be nothing, nothing without it

no me canso de repetir lindos y hermosos recuerdo de mi juventud en los años 80 y la baile estas canciones un 7 para ti rick

Elliot Dredd McClanning

Me gusta mucho está canción y muchas más de Rick triste pero muy linda y romantica,por supuesto que me siento identificado sobre todo me gusta la parte donde dice algo asi
"Tal vez no le muestro,y ahora pienso que se acabo"
Asi es la vida chicos pero la felicidad depende de nosotros mismos y no de una persona o cosas exteriores..
