Lyrics
THAT'S HOW YOU LOSE HER
I don't know what it is you're smokin'
Better listen what I say
Your little games and all your jokin'
Are gonna drive that girl away
Maybe you're too far gone for savin'
But she's the one who's gonna go
And when you're cryin' like a baby
I'm gonna say I told you so
That's how you lose her
That's how you lose her
Lose her
That's how you lose her
Treat her with some dignity
Find out how good love can be
Stay out with your no-good friends
See how fast your romance ends
Was it for real or were you fakin'
The night you told her you'd be true?
'Cause if she thinks that she's mistaken
She's gonna pull the plug on you
You think that you're God's gift to women
And that her patience has no end
Don't come to me when your head's spinnin'
'Cause I ain't got an ear to lend
That's how you lose her
That's how you lose her
Lose her
That's how you lose her
Treat her with some dignity
Find out how good love can be
You ain't seventeen no more
Change your act or find the door
That's how you lose her (that's how you drive that girl away)
Loser (that's how you're gonna get shown the door)
Loser, that's how you lose her (you better change your ways)
Loser, that's how you lose her
Lose her
Lose her
Lose her
