Don't Lose It - Pulp

Don’t lose it

He wants to use it

But don’t change a single thing

He wants to put it down on paper

And put it in a song to sing

How your father went away

How your mother got her way

How your brothers never let you join in

Didn’t do too well at school

Feel a failure but you’ll

Be famous if you let him touch you

Don’t lose it babe

Don’t go too straight

Don’t throw it away

No, don’t think it’s all wrong

No, no, don’t lose it babe

Don’t throw it away

It means more than a song

They’re pinheads

Have you met them?

But they’ve got nothing to say

Oh, he just stands there in the corner

And never dares join your game

He wants to take you out

To find out what it’s all about

'cos he can see that you’ve got something

But don’t let him take you in

He’s only after just one thing

And that’s the thing that makes you different

Don’t lose it babe

Don’t go too straight

Don’t throw it away

No, don’t think it’s all wrong

Baby, don’t lose it babe

Don’t throw it away

It means more than a song

So don’t lose it

Lose it

These things are worthless

You see them in a magazine

T-t-trainers, slip-slip-dresses

But you know what it means

Oh

They want a piece of something they’ve never felt

Something they can’t have and then you go

And in the end they want to suck you dry

'Cos they know you turned out well

And you don’t wanna, don’t wanna, don’t wanna, don’t wanna

Don’t lose it baby

Don’t give it away

Don’t go too straight

Don’t think it’s all wrong

Baby, don’t lose it babe

Don’t throw it away

It means more than a song

Don’t lose it

Don’t lose it

Lose it Lose it Lose it Lose it

Lose it Lose it Lose it
