PLENTY TO LOSE
Tearful from what you concealed from me
fearful of what you revealed to me
I didn't know you love her,
you didn't tell me
now you put me in the role
of wicked seducer of your soul,
so why did you want me
because she wanted him?
it's a sordid web you spin
and if you ever call me again
I'll say I know that you have a lover
you probably don't need another
so I'll be takin' a little time to
get you out of my mind
now I know that you have a lover
you probably don't need another
so I'll be takin' a little time
to get you off of my mind
I was so open and so feeling then
if you touched me I might smile
or I might bruise
I might laugh, I might cry
who knows the reason why
but I know I have plenty to lose
yes I know I have plenty to lose
yes I'm sure I have plenty to lose
oh I fear I have plenty to lose
because I know that you have a lover,
so why should you need another
and I'll be taking a lot of time
not to fret or to pine
