Excuse me, young lady, may I have a word with you for a minute?
'Cause I've been watchin' you for a long time
Um, no, you know, see, I'm late for work
I don't have no time
Well, listen, this'll just take just one minute of your time
Just one minute
I just got to say just one thing
I've been watchin' you for a long time
Alright, but please, just make it quick
What have you got to lose? Tell me, tell me, tell me
What have you got to lose? Once you pay your dues
I can understand it
Why you fool around
To put your trust in someone
Might just bring you down
I was just like you, girl
But I knew when to quit
Yeah, I was burned too, girl
And had my fill of it
Put your trust in someone
They will give you love
Put your trust in someone
And the Lord above
There is someone out there
They won't let you go
I'm the one who needs you
Wanna let you know
Tell me, what have you got to lose? Yeah
Tell me (Tell me, baby), tell me, tell me
What have you got to lose? Huh, yeah
Once you pay your dues
You gotta believe in someone
'Cause everyone's not the same
Not every heart that gambles
Is out to play a game
I was just like you, girl
But I knew when to quit
Yeah, I've been hurt too, girl
I had my fill of it
Put your trust in me, girl
I will give you love
Put your trust in me, girl
And the Lord above
We will grow together
In the years to come
Raise a family, girl
And love, love, love, love
(What have you got to lose?) Ah, baby
(Once you pay your dues) Once you pay your dues
Woah, tell me, what have you got to lose?
(What have you got to lose?) Yeah, baby
(Once you pay your dues) Once you pay your dues, yeah
What have you got to lose? Tell me, tell me, tell me
What have you got to lose? Once you pay your dues
Tell me, what have you got to lose?
I think I'm gonna take the day off
It feels like a lover's holiday to me
Your place or mine?
Oh, it doesn't matter, we have nothing to lose
Yeah, uh-huh
What have you got to lose? Once you pay your dues
Tell me, what have you got to lose?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, what have you got to lose?
