Classic Poem

(Joe Young alone)

VERSE

Flowers need the sunshine
And the morning dew.
I need lovin' sometimes,
So I'm warning you:

REFRAIN

You're gonna lose your gal,
You don't know who's your gal,
Acting like a two-time lover,
Keeping kisses under cover,
You'll wake up and soon discover
You're gonna lose your gal.
You're gonna sail away
You're bound to get that way.
How can you be so conceited,
Take a heart and then mistreat it,
You can't have your heart and eat it,
You're gonna lose your gal.
And when she's gone
She won't come back,
They don't come back,
Won't come back,
Once they're gone.
You're gonna be surprised,
You never realized
Someone else can treat her nicer,
Someone else can shoes and rice her,
Someone else will paradise her,
You're gonna lose your gal.
And when she starts to break your date,
Make you stand or sit and wait,
Now listen to me, pal,
You're gonna lose your gal.
