Loved & Lost

Bad luck is doggin' me around
Bad luck is doggin' me around
And I can't change my ways
Because I've been made second grade

And it's better to have loved
Loved and lost
Yes, it's better to have loved
Loved and lost
It's better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all

No love has come to me and stayed
No love has come to me and stayed
But I can't win this race
But to try to run ain't no disgrace

And it's better to have loved
Loved and lost
Yes, it's better to have loved
Loved and lost
It's better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all

Losin' hands have always been my deal
Losin' hands have always been my deal
Never have drawn, drawn the ace
But when trouble came
I always looked it in the face

And it's better to have loved
Loved and lost
Aah, it's better to have loved
Loved and lost
It's better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
