I Can’t Stand Losing You

I've been kicked around in my search for happiness
I've been up and down in my struggle for success
I've stood all these things, but I can't stand losing you

I have paid the price when I trusted lying lips
I've had paradise slip right through my fingertips
I've stood all these things, but I can't stand losing you

Why must we be parted
When our life has just begun?
Why leave me broken-hearted
When I thought at last I'd won?

Can't you hear the prayer that I'm saying constantly
Darling, if you care, then please hurry back to me
I can stand a lot, but I can't stand losing you

[Spoken]
Darling, I've been kicked around
In my search for happiness
I've been way up and been way down
In my struggle for success
And I've stood all these things
But honey, I can't stand losin' you
Yes, I just can't stand it

I, I know I've paid the price
When I trusted lying lips
And I know that I had paradise
Slip right through my fingertips
And I've stood all these things
But I can't stand losing you

Why must we be parted
When our life has just begun?
Why leave me broken-hearted
When I thought at last I'd won?

Can't you hear the prayer that I'm saying constantly
Darling, if you care, then please hurry back to me
I can stand a lot, but I can't stand losing you
