I've lost the right to say that I love you, 
I've lost the right to say that you are fine 
Yes, I've lost the right to say that I love you baby, 
and I've lost the right to say that you are fine 
I've lost the right to say that I need you like I do now baby 
and I'm slowly losing my mind 
Oh, you once told me how much you love me, 
and I said God love us all 
Oh, you told me once how much you love me baby 
and I said God love us all 
Yes, I was young and just a fool then baby, 
and couldn't hear the lovers call 
Oh, now I'm all alone and waiting here baby, 
I have no one to call my own 
Yes, I'm all alone and I'm waiting baby, 
I have no one to call my own 
Yes, you are just a fool each lonely heartbeat says, 
now I wonder why was I born
