I can't afford to lose him
He's all I got
My heart, yeah
And he's my soul
He's all I know

When I was down so low
I had no place to go
I looked around for my so-called friends
And I wanna tell you
The guy stepped right in
That's why
That's why
That's why

I can't afford to lose him
And I'll tell you why
He's all I got
My first
And he's my last
And when I'm sad
He makes me glad

That's why I don't mind
Working hard every day
And I don't mind
Bringing him all my pay
That's why I'm gonna stick close
By my man's side
Cos my love he won't deny
Oh that's why
That's why
That's why
My my
Yeah yeah
