Lyrics
Well, hold on this song has a little introduction to it
It 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 you're gonna lose it
And if you lose it yer gonna abuse it
And if you abuse it you ain't gonna be able to choose it
'Cause you ain't gonna have it further on down the line
And things aint gonna be so fine
You're gonna be sittin' there on your little machine
Tryin' to look and keep it clean
You gonna be playin Bingo all night all alone
That's why you're sittin' there by the telephone
And you know that she ain't goin' to call you
So, you put on the TV
And you're watchin' Johhny Carson
Segueiin' right ino 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 something on my mind "
You say, "Baby there's somethin' on my mind
I know that you're home and I know you ain't all alone"
So, you start walkin' over to her house
You get over to her house
You walk over to her door
You start poundin' on the door
You say, "Open up the door, bitch
This is 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"
You look up, way up at her green mascara
And you say, "Oh, my darlin'
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
Down the wise cracker line"
You say, "Darlin'
Take your big curls and just squeeze 'em down, Ratumba"
What's the name of the chick with the long hair?
(Rapunzel)
Say, hey Rapunzel
(Raputa) Hey, Raputa
Raputa the Buta
Hey, Raputa the Buta
Flippin' down your hair
Let me climb up the ladder of your love
Because this is Wooba Gooba sayin' to ya
"Love comes once, and when it comes
You got to grab it fast
'Cause sometimes the love you grab ain't gonna 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
One, two three
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 you slip on from me, baby
I let you walk on by
Shoulda love you had for me
I refused ya 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 that you were mine
Don't know why I let you leave me
Honey, I don't know
See, its hard to see lovin' comin', bab
But, I've 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 that you were mine
Love can be a sweet thing
Girl, I just don't understand
Made a game outta lovin' you
Now, hold the loosin' hand, oh
Musta got lost
Musta got lost
Musta got lost
Somewhere down the line
Musta got lost
I got lost, girl
Give away the day that 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 that you were mine
Musta got lost
I got lost
Musta got lost
Somewhere down the line
Musta got lost
Oh, I got lost, girl
Give away the day that you were mine
C'mon, baby
Oh, I got lost, babe
Double-crossed
Your lovin', give it to me
Yes
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh
I got lost
C'mon
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
Oh
Somewhere
