Don't you know you're gonna lose
If you love somebody that don't love you?
You'll believe him when he's untrue
But I can't bear seein' him break your heart in two
I've let it happen much too long

Should I wait, hopin' you'll find out on your own?
It's me who's loved you for so long

If he hurts you with his lies
Don't let it take too long to open your eyes
You're gonna see through his disguise
But I can't bear seein' him break your heart in two
I'm tired of tryin' to play it cool

Should I wait, hopin' you'll find out on your own?
The one you love is just a fool

If I had the chance I'd make you see
When you fall in love how it should be
A love that makes you sad can only turn out bad
So I'll be hangin' 'round until you're free

Don't you know you're gonna lose
If you love somebody that don't love you?
You'll believe him when he's untrue
But I can't bear seein' him break your heart in two
I've let it happen much too long

Should I wait, hopin' you'll find out on your own?
It's me who's loved you for so long
