What You Lose lyrics
I’ll tell you something
It will cost you nothing
Just your time
You can take it
You can leave it
There’s nothing that you have to sign
So come near
Come near
So you can hear
You’d better hold on tight to what you hold dear
Hold on tight to what you hold dear
Ooo Ooo Ooo
Some things you must face
What you lose
Cannot be replaced
What you lose
Cannot be replaced
I came with nothing
I’ll leave with nothing
That’s for sure
What was once close
Will soon be far
No matter if you’re rich or poor
So come near
Come near
So you can hear
You’d better hold on tight to what you hold dear
Hold on tight to what you hold dear
Ooo Ooo Ooo
Some things you must face
What you lose
Cannot be replaced
What you lose
Cannot be replaced
Love that has been lost
Cannot be re-bought at any cost
Take it to your heart
And hold it close so you’ll never part
So come near
Come near
So you can hear
You’d better hold on tight to what you hold dear
Hold on tight to what you hold dear
Ooo Ooo Ooo
Some things you must face
What you lose
Cannot be replaced
What you lose
Cannot be replaced
