I Can’t Take Losing You Lyrics by The System

X-Periment

1984

[Verse 1]
I was watching other ladies
My heart went out to play
You know I never meant to hurt you, no, no
Well, I made a big mistake
[Pre-Chorus]
Now, I've spent so many lonely days
(Spent so many lonely days)
Lonely nights, ah, listen girl
I still remember how you used to hold me tight
(Used to hold me so tight)
So I came back to ask you, please give me one more try
[Chorus]
'Cause I can't take losing you
(You know I need you in my world)
Baby, I can't let you go (We can make it)
No! (Come back, come back)
I can't take losing you (You know you'd be my only)
I could give you time to losе
No matter what I do
I can't take losing you (As long as therе is me and you)
Baby, I can't let you go-o (You know, we can make it)
No! (Come back, come back)
I can't take losing you (You know I need you in my)
I could give you time to lose
[Verse 2]
Your picture's on the wall
Your voice still echoes in the hall
I used to have it all
But then I set it free
My curiosity
Had got the best of me
[Pre-Chorus]
I said, I've spent so many lonely days
(Spent so many lonely days)
Lonely nights, ah, listen girl
I still remember how you used to hold me tight
(Used to hold me so tight)
So I came back to ask you to give me one more try
[Chorus]
'Cause I can't take losing you
(You know I need you in my)
Baby, I can't let you go (You know, we can make it)
No! (Come back, come back)
I can't take losing you (You know you'd be my only)
I could give you time to lose
No matter what I do
I can't take losing you (As long as there is me and you)
Oh, baby, I can't let you go-o (We can make it)
No! (Come back, come back)
I can't take losing you (You know I need you in my)
I could give you time to lose
No matter what I do
No! (No!)
No matter what I do
No! (No!)
[Verse 3]
No matter what I do
I just can't face the truth
There's no more me and you
But when it's new sunrise
My teary face turns dry
The hope of love shines through
[Chorus]
Oh! (Come back, girl)
'Cause I can't take losing you (You know I need you in my)
Baby, I can't let you go (You know, we can make it)
No! (Come back, girl)
'Cause I can't take losing you (And you would be my only)
I could give you time to lose
No matter what I do
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
(And we can never lose)
'Cause I can't take losing you (As long as there's a me and you)
Baby, I can't let you go (You know, we can make it)
No! (Come back, girl)
'Cause I can't take losing you (You know I need you in my)
I'd just give you time to lose
No matter what I do
I can't take losing you (Just let the hope of love shine)
Baby, I can't let you go-o (You know, we can make it)
No! (Come back, girl)
'Cause I can't take losing you (You know I need you)
