Last night I struck my baby right down And said the talk's all round the town
You're cheatin' while I work all day I guess that feelin's finally gone
And I got so tired of spendin' my nights alone That I packed my bags and I'm goin' away
I sure would hate to lose your lovin', don't you know?
And you said goodbye to the ones that you're right for
Cause it felt so good, a whole lot better than I thought it could
Honey, I hate to lose you now
Well, I swore I wouldn't sit and cry Cause my baby left me for the high and dry
But I'm sittin' fine, I'm gonna move on down the line
Well, I knew that's what I had to do Had to find me some love that's new
Cause lovin' is so easy to find
But I sure would hate to lose that lovin', don't you know?
And you said goodbye to the ones that you're right for
Cause it felt so good, a whole lot better than I thought it could
Honey, I hate to lose you now
But I think it's gonna be alright Cause I found a little girl last night
She said you better just move on in
Cause I got my rent paid through next week And I'm out tonight
Don't you know that I'd do my best to be back by ten
And I sure would hate to lose your lovin', don't you know?
And you said goodbye to the ones that you're right for
Cause it felt so good, a whole lot better than I thought it could
Honey, I hate to lose you now
Honey, I hate to lose you now
Honey, I hate to lose you now
Honey, I hate to lose you now
