Shorty and Slim just standing on the corner
Trying to find a way I gotta burn another quarter
Half ounce in hand, just another piece of cake
Getting dough is hard to make
I don't wanna lose, lose you
I don't wanna lose, lose you
I don't wanna lose, lose you
I don't wanna lose you
Always on the down-low, getting kinda high
Keep it in my pocket 'til it starts runnin' shy
Over and over 'til the day is done
Twenty dollars, cut 'n run
I don't wanna lose, lose you
I don't wanna lose, lose you
I don't wanna lose, lose you
I don't wanna lose you
Mississippi Sam, whiskey and wine
You know it's just a matter of time
I don't wanna lose you
Yeah just like the dead man laying about
Don't wanna run short or turn inside out
She don't lie, and that's the bad news
You know it, I'm speaking the truth
I don't wanna lose, lose you
I don't wanna lose, lose you
I don't wanna lose, lose you
I don't wanna lose you
Lose, lose you...
