Paul Anka - I Gave a Little and Lost a Lot lyrics

I had the finest woman
Any man can hope to find

Faith and trust had
Seen us through so many times

But friends were full of envy
 cause she treated me like a king

And, I took her love for granted
And I lost everything

I called to say, I'm working babe
She always understands

That's what excuse I'd use when
I had other things planned
Came to the house and found myself in
The room with someone I knew

These were just the days in
Which she was going through

Now, I gave a little and I lost a lot

Holding on to someone, I no longer got

I was fooling around with 7 that
I had to bring to prom

And I ended up giving a little
And I lost a lot

Now, you men may need this warning
If you got a nice woman, by your side

If you go have wish, at a certain place
And there she'll arrive

And you end up giving little
And you lose a lot

Now, I gave a little and I lost a lot
Holding on to someone I no longer got
I was fooling around with 7
That I brought to prom
And I ended up giving little and I lost a lot

(Outro until fade)
And I ended up giving little and I lost a lot
