The Love I Lost (album version) Lyrics

The love I lost was a sweet love.
The love I lost was complete love.
The love I lost,
I will never, no, no, never love again.

I can remember planning,
Building my whole world around you.
I can remember hoping
That you and I could make it on through.

But something went wrong.
We loved each other,
We just couldn't get along.
Take a good look at me.
I'm in misery, can't you see,

'Cause the love, (The love I lost)
The love, the love, the love I lost
Was a sweet love. (Yes it was.)
The love I lost was complete love.
The love I lost,
I will never, (Never) no, no, never (Never) love again.

I can't remember nothing, no, no, no,
But the good times we used to share, my love.
I'm so sad and lonely
That without you, my life is so bare.

I'm sorry to say,
You go your way and I'll go my way.
It hurts deep inside the day we said goodbye,

'Cause the love, (The love I lost)
The love, the love, the love I lost was a sweet love.
The love I lost, I lost was complete love.
The love I lost,
I will never, (Never) no, no, never love again.
I will never, never, never love again.
Never, (Never) no, no, never (Never) love again.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Never, (Never) no, no, never (Never) love again.
Ohhhhhhhh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
(Never, no, no, never love again.) Never, never.
Never, (My love) no, no, never (Never) love again.
La, la, la, la, la.

(Never) La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
It was a good love. (I lost it.)
She was a sweet love. (Sorry I lost it.)
I thought I had it right here on my hands, but I lost it
I thought I had you all to myself, but I lost it. (Sorry I lost it.)
I-I didn't realize (I lost it.)
That I thought I had it right here in my hands. (Sorry I lost it.)
But come on back home. (I lost it.)
Come back, come on back home, baby. (Sorry I lost it.)
I'm sorry.
Come on back home, baby. (I lost it.)
Come on back home, baby. (Sorry I lost it.)
Mmmm.
I've been missing you, baby. (I lost it.)
My love.
I've been thinking about you, baby. (Sorry I lost it.)
What about you?
I've been wondering where you are. (I lost it.)
What you been doing? (Sorry I lost it.)
Won't you forgive me, baby, my love? (I lost it.)
If I got down on my hands and knees, (Sorry I lost it.)
I'd beg you please, won't you take me back. (I lost it.)
Take me back, take me back. (Sorry I lost it.)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
My love. (I lost it.)
She was a sweet love. (Sorry I lost it.)

I wonder if there's anyone out there that feel the way you do that you lost it.
Has anyone ever found someone that, that ever meant the world to you?
Let's all stand up and sing along with me, children.
Say it, y'all. (I lost it.)
Say it, y'all. (Sorry I lost it.)
Say it, y'all. (I lost it.)
Say it, y'all. (Sorry I lost it.)
Say it.
Say it. (I lost it.)
Say you lost it. (Sorry I lost it.)
I-I-I lost it. (I lost it.)
Yes I did, yes I did. (Sorry I lost it.)
Ohhhhhh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. (I lost it.)
My love. (Sorry I lost it.)

Come on, y'all.
Mmmm, hmmm.
Mmmm, hmmm.
Well, well.
Mmmm, hmmm.
Look at y'all.
I wonder if there's anyone out there again that feel that you lost somebody.
Stand up.
