Southwest F.O.B. Lyrics


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

Southwest F.O.B.(freight on board)
Thie album sparkles. Great lyrics. Beautiful music that jangles along from track to track with horns and keys behind stellar vocals and harmonies. They turned Chuck Berry's "Nadine" into a psych monster. Their original "Smell of Incense" is a psych monster.
Great cover version of " Feelin" Groovy" by Simon & Garfunkel,
better than the original.
These guys were just teens and they had their act together like pros.
Great LP. Thanx, Glad.
How have you been ,? Thanks for keeping the music going. I wish you well.
