Kayak - Can’t Afford To Lose Lyrics

I tried to hide from the fire
But there's no place that I can go
I tried to feel no desire
But I only felt my love grow

I need you so, without you I can't go on
My life has got no direction
You know I'm helpless from the moment you're gone
I need you're loving and affection

So I want you to stay and you know that I'll do
Anything that you want me to

Can't afford to lose
Can't afford to lose your loving
I can't afford to lose
Can't afford to lose your loving
I can't afford to lose

Some people change their lovers and friends
Just like old shoes and cigarettes
Running around, their chase never ends
Always trying to find their match

No more illusions, got my feet on the ground
'Cause I'm chained by your attraction
I couldn't live alone, I want you around
Because I need your protection

So I beg you to stay and you know that I'll do
Anything that you want me to

Can't afford to lose
Can't afford to lose your loving
I can't afford to lose
Can't afford to lose your loving
I can't afford to lose
