ain't gonna lose you....

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 your hoax

but 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.

they can make me turn my back on my friends,

send me away to san quentin,

put me in hole, a thousand times

but i ain't gonna lose you.

throw me in a hurricane,

tell the whole world i have gone insane,

run an electric shock to my brain

but i ain't gonna lose you.

i'll sing it from the rooftop,

i'll sing it from the bus stop,

i'll sing it on the street drunk to a cop,

but i ain't gonna lose you.
