Musta Got Lost

J. Geils Band

Spoken)

Hold on this song has a little introduction to it

It's 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're gonn' lose it

and if you lose it you're gonn' 'buse and

if you 'buse it you aint gonn' be able to choose it

cuz you aint gonn' have it further on down the line

things aint gonn' be so fine

you're gonn' to be sitting there on your little.. machine

tryin to look and keep it clean and

You're going to be home playing bingo all night all alone

and that's why your sittin there by the telephone

and you know that she aint goin to call you!



So you put on the TV and you're watchin Johnny Carson

segwayin 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 a 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 aint all alone! "



So you start walking over to her house

and you get over to her house

and you walk over to her door and

you start poundin on her door and you say

"Open up the door bitch!”

This is wooba gooba 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 ya -

a wise crack of lies!"

You say Darling!!!



Take your big curls and squeeze them down Ratumba -

What's the name of the chick with the long hair?

(Rapunzel!) Hey Rapunzel!

Heh heh... Hey Reputa the beautah! Reputa the Beautah!

Hey Reputa the Beautah flip me down your hair

and let me climb up to the ladder of your love!!

Because this is the wooba gooba sayin to ya

"Love comes once and when it comes

you better grab it fast cuz sometimes the love

you grab aint gonn' 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!!!!!!!



1…2….3…



(Sung)

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 ya slip on from me baby

I let ya walk on by,

Shoulda loved, you told me

I refused to 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 its 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 wer
