What You Gain (By Losing Me)
Here's the best of mine
Now I lose my place
Aint it a shame that I
Had to hear you say
Baby, baby my wells run dry
Here's the best of mine
So give it worth some day
Aint it a shame that I
Never heard you say
Stay dear, why don't you stay here with me
There will come a time
And I'm gonna understand girl
What do you gain by losing me?
(She won't say but she knows for sure)
Who has changed your truth in me?
(He's been in her arms before)
Now take what you take and leave what you leave
(Nothing's worse than nothing more)
But you might lose a little more than you gain
(Lose a little more than you gain)
It's been nice baby
Why would I complain?
It's just my heart that you
Love to throw away
For nothing, leave me wondering who's to blame
Did you hear me? It's been nice baby
And I hope you find the same
With another wanderer
Who will play your game
Just the way that I did
Left me wondering if I'll ever, ever see you again
What do you gain by losing me?
(She won't say but she knows for sure)
Who has changed your truth in me?
(He's been in her arms before)
Now take what you take and leave what you leave darlin
(Nothing's worse than nothing more)
But you might lose a little more than you gain
(Lose a little more than you gain)
What do you gain by losing me darlin?
(She won't say but she knows for sure)
And who has changed your truth in me baby?
(He's been in her arms before)
Why don't you take what you take and leave what you leave, yeah
(Nothing's worse than nothing more)
But you might lose a little more than you gain baby
(Lose a little more than you gain)
You might lose a little more than you gain darlin
