I had the finest woman, any man can hope to find

Faith and trust had seen us through so many times

But friends were full of envy, cause she treated me like a king

And, I took her love for granted and I lost everything

I called to say, I'm working babe, she always understands

That's what excuse I'd use when I had other things planned

Came to the house and found myself in the room with someone I knew

These were just the days in which she was going through

Now, I gave a little and I lost a lot

Holding on to someone, I no longer got

I was fooling around with 7 that I had to bring to prom

And I ended up giving a little, and I lost a lot

Now, you men may need this warning if you got a nice woman, by your side
If you go have wish, at a certain place, and there she'll arrive

And you end up giving little, and you lose a lot

Now, I gave a little and I lost a lot. (x3)
Holding on to someone I no longer got
I was fooling around with 7 that I brought to prom
And I ended up giving little and I lost a lot

(Outro until fade)
And I ended up giving little and I lost a lot (x4)
