I Still Lost You

(Dolly Parton)



Nothing new, nothing different, nothing better, nothing more

Nothing else to give you I didn't give before

I gave my love completely, my heart was always yours

It wouldn't do, I still lost you.



You want to give it one chance; Don't know why we should

We'd never get that far again or make the love that good

We had our chance, we blew it; And I'll never understand

Careless fools, I still lost you.



You want to fan the flames of love, stir up passion's fire

Conjure up familiar lusts, stir up past desires

What we had then, we don't have now; And I would just compare

I refuse, I still lost you.



Too late for starting over, it hardly ever works

Too many missing pieces, too much water, too much hurt

I already lost you once, and that makes matters worse

What's the use, I still lost you.



Oh you want to fan the flames of love, stir up passion's fire

Conjure up familiar lusts, stir up past desires

What we had then, we don't have now; And I would just compare

I refuse, I still lost you.



Oh what's the use, I still lost you, I lost you...
