Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I had a hundred dollar ring in my hand
So weak and tired, I could barely stand
From bein' up all night, prayin' she'd say yes
So with a hopeful heart, I hit one knee
With a tear in her eye, she looked at me
It was the moment of truth, I was scared to death
[PreChorus]
My life hung on what that tear meant
Then she smiled at me
And I lost it
[Chorus]
No one can make me cry, make me laugh
Make me smile or drive me mad like she does
It's like a curse that is the cure
Better or worse, one thing's for sure, it's real love
And I don't know what I'd do if I lost it
[Verse 2]
Well, the honeymoon ended and life began
Jobs and bills, losin' touch with friends
And that apartment got smaller every day
Then one night the walls finally closed in
I came home late, she said, "Where have you been?
You used to call and tell me you're on your way"
[PreChorus]
She said, "If this is how it's gonna be, then I quit"
She walked out the door
I lost it
[Chorus]
No one can make me cry, make me laugh
Make me smile or drive me mad like she does
It's like a curse that is the cure
Better or worse, one thing's for sure, it's real love
And I don't know what I'd do if I lost it
[Bridge]
I picked myself up off the floor
She walked back through the door
We made love like it was the first time
[Chorus]
No one can make me cry, make me laugh
Make me smile or drive me mad like she does
It's like a curse that is the cure
Better or worse, one thing's for sure, it's real love
And I don't know what I'd do if I lost it
[Outro]
Oh, if I lost it (If I lost it)
I don't wanna lose it
