I've Lost Everything I've Ever Loved (Single Version|Mono)

I've Lost Everything I've Ever Loved (Single Version|Mono) - David Ruffin

Hmm hmm hmm-mmm

I was raised an only child

My folks died when I was four

They were trapped in a fire

Way up on the fourteenth floor

Well my loving granny raised me

Til I reached the age of ten

But the good lord took her too

And left my dog Jeff my only friend

Oh baby

Seem like the odds are against me

Nothing works out right for me ooh

I've lost everything I've ever loved

Honey honey now I'm losing you baby

I've lost everything I've ever ever loved

Honey honey now I'm losing you

Ooh baby

So all my love I gave to Jeff

Cause he was all I had right then

But the wheels of an automobile

Brought his life to a tragic end

From an orphan home to college

Thought I found true love in you

I felt sure we would marry

But your folks did not approve

Oh baby

Seem like the odds are against me

Nothing works out right for me ooh

I've lost everything I've ever loved

Now and now I'm losing you oh

I've lost everything I've ever loved baby

Honey honey now I'm losing you ohh

Ooh baby

You accepted their decision

Without any type of defense

They said if we wait a few more years

That would make a little more sense

So we waited three or four

Everyday we kept in touch

But when we came face to face

You didn't love me quite as much

Oh baby

Seem like the odds are against me

Nothing works out right for me ohh

I've lost everything I've ever loved

Baby baby baby now I'm losing you

I've lost everything I've ever loved

Ohh ohh

Now I'm losing you

I've lost every every everything

That I've ever ever loved

Now I'm losing I'm losing I'm losing I'm losing you
