You can put a stick in my spokes
I can be the butt of your jokes
I can be the laughing stock, I can be the hoax
But I ain't gonna lose you
No, I ain't gonna lose you
They can come and tear my house down
They can run me out of town

They can tie me up, call me a clown
But I ain't gonna lose you
No, I ain't gonna lose you
I can't stand the thought of another man
No, I ain't gonna lose you

They can make me turn my back on my friends

And send me away to San Quentin
Put me in the hole thousand times again
Oh, I ain't gonna lose you
No, I ain't gonna lose you
Throw me in a hurricane

Tell the whole world I've gone insane

Run an electric shock to my brain
But I ain't gonna lose you
No, I ain't gonna lose you
I can't stand the thought of another man
No, I ain't gonna lose you
No, I ain't gonna lose, ain't gonna lose
Ain't gonna lose, ain't gonna lose
Ain't gonna lose, ain't gonna lose

And I'll sing it from my roof top

Sing it from the bus stop

Ain't gonna lose you, ain't gonna lose

Gonna lose you, gonna lose
