Musta Got Lost (Live)

Hold on, this song has a little introduction to it
It ain't supposed to be sad though you might feel it that way
It's a song about desperation, every now and then we do get desperate

This is a song about L-O-V-E
And if you abuse it, you gon' lose it
And if you lose it, you gon' abuse it
And if you abuse it, you ain't going to be able to choose it
'Cause you ain't going to have it further on down the line
And things ain't going to be so fine
And you gon' be sitting there on your little machine

Tryin' to look and keep it clean
And you're going to be playing bingo all night, all alone
And that's why your sittin' there by the telephone
And you know that she ain't goin' to call you!

So you put on the TV
And you're watchin' Johhny Carson
Seguaying right into the Tomorrow show
But that don't got the go
So you turn it off, ya turn on the radio
The radio don't seem to get the click
So you say, "Hey man, I can't lickety-split"

You start to open up your little book
And there's somethin' there you got to overlook
And you say, "Baby, you know there's somethin' on my mind!"
You say, "Baby there's somethin' on my mind
I know that you're home and I know you ain't all alone!"

So you start walking over to her house
And you get over to her house
And you walk over to her door
You start poundin' on her door
You say, "Open up the door, bitch!
This is Wuppa Gubba with the green teeth, let me in!"

Well, she opens up the door
And then you just kinda walk up to her
And say, "Baby" (say, "Baby")
You look up, way up, at her green mascara
And you say, "Oh my darling
You know her and me was at the party as friends
Do not believe what they say
That's only gossip that they tellin' you
Darlin', the wisecracker lyin'!"
You say, "Darling!

Take your big curls and just squeeze them down, Rotunda
What's the name of that chick with the long hair? (Rapunzel!)
Hey, Rapunzel! Hey, Raputa! Raputa the Buta! Hey, Raputa the Buta!
Flipping down your hair, let me climb up the ladder of your love!"
Because this is Wuppa Gubba sayin' to ya
"Love comes once and when it comes, you better grab it fast
'Cause sometimes the love you grab ain't gonna last
And I believe I musta", you know I think I musta"
You know baby, I think I musta"
You know I think I musta", I musta" got lost!"

Never thought about tomorrow
Seemed like a long time to come
How could I be so blind, baby
Not to see you were the one?

I let you slip on from me, baby
I let you walk on by
Seen the love you had for me
I refused your love, I let it die

Musta' got lost, musta' got lost, musta' got lost
Somewhere down the line
Musta' got lost, musta' got lost
Give away the day you were mine

Don't know why I let you leave me
Honey, I don't know
See it's hard to see lovin' comin' baby
But I have a way to see it go

Musta' got lost, musta' got lost, musta' got lost
Somewhere down the line
Musta' got lost, I got lost
Give away the day you were mine

Love can be a sweet thing
Girl, I just don't understand
Made a game outta lovin' you
Now I hold the loosin' hand

Musta' got lost, musta' got lost, musta' got lost
Somewhere down the line
Musta' got lost, I got lost, girl
Give away the day you were mine

I just don't understand it
I just don't understand it
I just don't understand it

And I musta' got lost, musta' got lost, musta' got lost
Somewhere down the line
Musta' got lost, baby, I got lost, girl
Give away the day you were mine

Musta' got lost, I got lost, musta' got lost
Somewhere down the line
Musta' got lost, I got lost, girl
Give away the day you were mine

Come on, baby, come on
I got lost, double-crossed
Your lovin', give it to me

I said your love got me higher
Than I ever deserved to be
I said your love got me higher
Than I ever been

Somewhere
