I Don't Want to Lose You (Cabaret Metro - Chicago, IL 5/14/88)

You turn to me with that look on your face
The kind of smile I’ll never replace
But if you can’t love me then I’ll have to go
But first there’s something that you should know
You turn to me
And your eyes say you want to be free
What can I do
When I spend my whole life lovin' you?
I don’t want to lose you
Now you come around and you want me again
Let’s face it girl we just can’t pretend
We can’t go back it just can’t be the same
So don’t be sad there’s no one to blame
You turn to me
And your eyes are the eyes that know me
What can I do, when I spend all my life wanting you?
I don’t want to lose you
What did I do tell me what did I say that was wrong
When will this pain leave my heart, but it takes so long
I think that someday we’ll both look back on this
We’ll laugh and smile and both reminisce
About all the good times together we’ve had
But girl I know that I’ll still be sad
Still I want you
When I know it’s the wrong thing to do
Can we be here
And still have love enough left to give?
