I Don’t Wanna Lose You Lyrics - Hall & Oates

(Words by Daryl Hall & John Oates 

Music by Daryl Hall) 

You and I have separate lives girl 

You and I go different ways on roads that cross 

When love and loss is ruled by fate 

People have a tragic habit 

Of letting love get in the way 

They tend to lose their overviews and overplay 

Something I wanna say 

Something I've got to do 

Feels like you're drifting away 

And I don't wanna lose you 

I'll try to find a way to encourage you 

It's easy to convince myself 

Cause I can't believe you'd wanna be with somebody else 

People have a tragic habit 

Of letting love get in the way 

They tend to lose their overviews and overplay
