[Verse 1]
Loretta, I see you walking now and then
Loretta, I see you coming near

[Chorus]
Why's it oh so hard to turn back and finally whisper
How are we supposed to carry on?
Well I've got to, for now

[Verse 2]
Forget her, and everything she said, she lied
I met her morning, noon and night
Well I'd say I fooled ya
So, Loretta, you never won the fight

[Chorus]
Why's it oh so hard to turn back and finally whisper
How are we supposed to carry on?
Well I've got to, for now

[Outro]
(Loretta, I've got to)
(Loretta, I've got to)
(Loretta, I've got to)
(Loretta)
