Steve Earle - I Don't Want to Lose You Yet lyrics

Baby, it's a cold hard world out there
Brokenhearted people everywhere
Taking whatever love they get
I don't want to wind up like that

So, baby, throw your arms around my neck
Lay your pretty head against my chest
Listen to one heartbeat then the next
Baby, I don't want to lose you yet

You know I love you and I know you love me
It's everything that love's supposed to be
But, I don't want to look up one day
And find out we let it slip away

Baby, throw your arms around my neck
Lay your pretty head against my chest
Listen to one heartbeat then the next
Baby, I don't want to lose you yet

I can't tell you nothing about love, I guess
That you don't already know
But girl, when you're in my arms like this
I don't ever want to let you go

So, baby, maybe I'm wrong
But what if I'm right?
And everything's depending on us tonight
Maybe we'll pass this way again
But honey, I don't want to wait till then

So, baby, throw your arms around my neck
Lay your pretty head against my chest
Listen to one heartbeat then the next
Baby, I don't want to lose you yet
