Hold on this song has a little introduction to it
It's ain’t supposed to be sad though you might feel it that way
It's a song about desperation
Every now and then we do get desperate

This is a song about L-o-v-e
and if you abuse it yer goin to lose it 
and if you lose it yer goin to abuse and 
if you abuse it you aint going to be able to choose it 
cuz you aint going to have it further on down the line 
and things aint going to be so fine 
and yer going to be sitting there on your little machine 
tryin to look and keep it clean and 
You’re going to be home playing bingo all night all alone 
and that's why your sittin there by the telephone 
and you know that she aint goin to call you!

So you put on the TV and you're watchin Johnny Carson 
segueing right into the Tomorrow show 
but that don't got the go so you turn it off ya turn on the radio
the radio don’t' seem to get the click so you say 
"Hey Man, I can't lickety split" 
You start to open up a little book 
and there's somethin there you got to overlook 
and you say "BABY, you know there's somethin on my mind!
"You say "Baby there's somethin on my mind 
I know that you're home and I know you aint all alone!"

So you start walking over to her house 
and you get over to her house 
and you walk over to her door and 
you start poundin on her door and you say 
"Open up the door bitch!” 
This is the wooba gooba with the green teeth, let me in!!"

Well, she opens up the door 
and then you just kinda walk up to her and say 
"Baby", (say Baby!) you look up way up at her green mascara 
and you say "Oh my darling
you know her and me was at the party as friends 
do not believe what they say 
that's only gossip that they tellin ya 
a wise crack of lies!" 
You say Darling!!!

Take your big curls and squeeze them down Rotumba 
What's the name of the chick with the long hair? 
(Rapunzle!) Hey Rapunzle! 
Hey Raputa! Raputa the Buta! 
Hey Raputa the Buta flip me down your hair let me climb 
up to the ladder of your love!! 
Because this is the wooba gooba sayin to ya 
"Love comes once and when it comes 
you better grab it fast cuz sometimes the love 
you grab aint going to last and 
I believe I musta
You know I think I musta
You know baby I think I musta
You know I think I musta
I musta got lost!!!!!!!

1…2….3…

Never thought about tomorrow 
Seemed like a long time to come 
How could I be so blind, baby 
Not to see you were the one 

I let ya slip on from me baby 
I let ya walk on by
Shoulda loved, you told me 
I refused to love, I let it die 

Musta got lost, musta got lost, musta got lost 
Somewhere down the line 
Musta got lost, musta got lost 
Give away the day you were mine 

Don't know why I let you leave me 
Honey I don’t know 
See its hard to see lovin' comin baby 
But I have a way to see it go 

Musta got lost, musta got lost, musta got lost 
Somewhere down the line 
Musta got lost, I got lost 
Give away the day you were mine 

Love can be a sweet thing 
girl I just don't understand 
made a game outta lovin' you 
now I hold a loose hand 

Musta got lost, musta got lost, musta got lost 
Somewhere down the line 
Musta got lost, I got lost girl
Give away the day you were mine

I just don't understand it 
I just don't understand it
I just don't understand it

And I musta got lost, musta got lost, musta got lost 
Somewhere down the line, hey 
Musta got lost, baby, I got lost girl
Give away the day you were mine

Musta got lost, I got lost, musta got lost 
somewhere down the line 
Musta got lost, I got lost girl
Give away the day you were mine

C’mon
Oh, I got lost, double-crossed
Your lovin', give it to me all night long

I said your love got me higher
than I ever been lifted before

I said your love got me higher 
than I ever been lifted before……

Somewhere……………………
