| Hmm, hmm, hmm-mmm
|
| I was raised an only child
|
| My folks died when I was four
|
| They were trapped in a fire
|
| Way up on the fourteenth floor
|
| Well, my lovin' granny raised me
|
| 'Til I reached the age of ten
|
| But the good Lord took her too
|
| And left my dog Jeff, my only friend
|
| Oh, baby
|
| Seem like the odds are against me
|
| Nothing works out right for me, ooh
|
| I’ve lost everything I’ve ever loved
|
| Honey, honey, now I’m losing you, baby
|
| I’ve lost everything I’ve ever, ever loved
|
| Honey, honey, now I’m losing you
|
| Ooh, baby
|
| So, all my love I gave to Jeff
|
| 'Cause he was all I had right then
|
| But the wheels of an automobile
|
| Brought his life to a tragic end
|
| From an orphan home to college
|
| Thought I found true love in you
|
| I felt sure we would marry
|
| But your folks did not approve
|
| Oh, baby
|
| Seem like the odds are against me
|
| Nothing works out right for me, ooh
|
| I’ve lost everything I’ve ever loved
|
| Now I’m losing you, oh
|
| I’ve lost everything I’ve ever loved, baby
|
| Honey, honey, now I’m losing you
|
| Ooh, baby
|
| You accepted their decision
|
| Without any type of defense
|
| They said if we wait a few more years
|
| That would make a little more sense
|
| So we waited three or four
|
| Everyday we kept in touch
|
| But when we came face to face
|
| You didn’t love me quite as much
|
| Oh, baby
|
| Seem like the odds are against me
|
| Nothing works out right for me
|
| I’ve lost everything I’ve ever loved
|
| Baby, baby, baby, now I’m losin' you
|
| I’ve lost everything I’ve ever loved
|
| Now, I’m losin' you
|
| Now, I’m losin' you
|
| I’ve lost everything I’ve ever loved
|
| (Every, every, everything, ever)
|
| Now, I’m losin' you
|
| (Honey, now I’m losing you) |
