Steve Earle
I Don’t Want to Lose You Yet
[Verse 1]
Baby, it's a cold hard world out there
Brokenhearted people everywhere
Taking whatever love they get
I don't want to wind up like that

[Chorus]
So, baby, throw your arms around my neck
Lay your pretty head against my chest
Listen to one heartbeat then the next
Baby, I don't want to lose you yet

[Verse 2]
You know I love you and I know you love me
It's everything that love's supposed to be
But I don't want to look up one day
And find out we let it slip away

[Chorus]
Baby, throw your arms around my neck
Lay your pretty head against my chest
Listen to one heartbeat then the next
Baby, I don't want to lose you yet

[Bridge]
I can't tell you nothing about love, I guess
That you don't already know
But girl, when you're in my arms like this
I don't ever want to let you go
[Verse]
So, baby, maybe I'm wrong, but what if I'm right?
And everything's depending on us tonight
Maybe we'll pass this way again
But honey, I don't want to wait till then

[Chorus]
So, baby, throw your arms around my neck
Lay your pretty head against my chest
Listen to one heartbeat then the next
Baby, I don't want to lose you yet
