I Don’t Wanna Lose, Lose, You Lyrics

Shorty and Slim just standing on the corner
Trying to find a way I gotta burn another quarter
Half ounce in hand, just another piece of cake
Getting dough is hard to make

I don't wanna lose, lose you
I don't wanna lose, lose you
I don't wanna lose, lose you
I don't wanna lose you

Always on the down-low, getting kinda high
Keep it in my pocket 'til it starts runnin' shy
Over and over 'til the day is done
Twenty dollars, cut 'n run

I don't wanna lose, lose you
I don't wanna lose, lose you
I don't wanna lose, lose you
I don't wanna lose you

(Guitar Solo)

Mississippi Sam, whiskey and wine
You know it's just a matter of time
I don't wanna lose you
See ZZ Top Live
Get tickets as low as $25
(2nd guitar Solo)

Yeah just like the dead man laying about
Don't wanna run short or turn inside out
She don't lie, and that's the bad news
You know it, I'm speaking the truth

I don't wanna lose, lose you
I don't wanna lose, lose you
I don't wanna lose, lose you
I don't wanna lose you

Lose, lose you...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
