Lionel Richie | Lyrics | Don't Wanna Lose You

You know it's taken me a long time, baby, to realize
How much you mean to me, I don't wanna lose you

Times are hard, my spirits are weak, oh yeah
Everything seems to be going wrong, outlook's bleak
You know I fooled around playing the field
That's when I found that your love was real

No, I haven't treated you so right
But I won't lose your love without a fight

I'm gonna hold on to the love we have together
Hold on, don't you say goodbye
Tell me now before we lose forever
Girl, I don't wanna lose you

Girl, I've got to have your sweet loving
'Cause without it, girl, I'll just lose my mind
The way you hold me comforts me and shows me
That a love like yours is hard to find

I need your loving every day and night
Your kinda lovin' makes me feel alright

Hold on to the love we have together
Hold on, don't you say goodbye
Want you to tell me now before we lose forever
Girl, I don't wanna lose you now
No, I don't want to lose you now, hey

Baby, don't go, baby don't go, not now
Baby, don't go, I need you by my side girl, yeah
Baby, don't go, I love you so
And I don't wanna lose you

You know it took me a long time to finally realize
That a good thing is hard to find
That's why I'm standing right here with you today, girl
I wanna keep you forever, I've come to my senses, girl, you know
I don't wanna go anywhere, I'm coming home

Hold on, what we got, baby
Hold on, just can't say goodbye, no no not now
Tell me now before we lose forever
Girl, I don't wanna lose you now
Don't wanna lose you now

Hold on, got to hold on
Hold on, don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye, not now
Tell me now, got to live our lives together
Girl, I don't wanna lose you now

I don't wanna lose you, baby
Don't wanna lose you now, I need you
