Curtis Mayfield
I Loved and I Lost
[Verse 1]
What do you know about it?
Who had told you so?
It makes no difference
The whole world can know
[Chorus]
I loved and I lost
It happens to the best
So I loved and I lost
And I might as well confess
[Verse 2]
She was so beautiful
Like flowers full bloom in May
Her kiss was like the rolling wind
It left me speechless with nothing to say, no no
[Chorus]
I loved and I lost
The fire would not ignite
So I loved and I lost
And I wish her back with all my might
'Cause she was so very good to me
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I loved and I lost, baby
It happens to the best
So I loved and I lost
And I might as well confess
[Outro]
I loved and I lost, mhm
I loved and I lost, ooh
I loved and I lost
I loved and I lost
