I've been kicked around In my search for happiness I've been up and down In my struggle for success I've stood all these things But, I can't stand losing you I have paid the price When I trusted lying lips I've had paradise Slip right through my fingertips I've stood all these things But, I can't stand losing you Why must we be parted? When our life has just begun? Why leave me broken-hearted? When I thought at last I'd won? Can't you hear the prayer? That I'm saying constantly Darling, if you care Then, please hurry back to me I can stand a lot But, I can't stand losing you Darling, I've been kicked around In my search for happiness I've been way up and been way down In my struggle for success And I've stood all these things But, honey I can't stand losing you Yes, I just can't stand it I, I know, I paid the price When I trusted lying lips And I know that I had paradise Slip right through my fingertips And I've stood all these things But, I can't stand losing you Why must we be parted? When our life has just begun? Why leave me broken-hearted? When I thought at last I'd won? Can't you hear the prayer? That I'm saying constantly Darling, if you care Then, please hurry back to me I can stand a lot But, I can't stand losing you
