"I Still Lost You" Lyrics

(Dolly Parton)

Nothing new, nothing different, nothing better, nothing more
Nothing else to give you I didn't give before
I gave my love completely, my heart was always yours
It wouldn't do, I still lost you.

You want to give it one chance; Don't know why we should
We'd never get that far again or make the love that good
We had our chance, we blew it; And I'll never understand
Careless fools, I still lost you.

You want to fan the flames of love, stir up passion's fire
Conjure up familiar lusts, stir up past desires
What we had then, we don't have now; And I would just compare
I refuse, I still lost you.

Too late for starting over, it hardly ever works
Too many missing pieces, too much water, too much hurt
I already lost you once, and that makes matters worse
What's the use, I still lost you.

Oh you want to fan the flames of love, stir up passion's fire
Conjure up familiar lusts, stir up past desires
What we had then, we don't have now; And I would just compare
I refuse, I still lost you.

Oh what's the use, I still lost you, I lost you...
