You Losin' Out
Love's Betrayal: Two Gallants' Tale of Heartache and Redemption
Lyrics
I can't forget the day, baby you walked away,
I cannot forget the day when you, baby, walked away.
I can't forget the day, mama you walked away,
I cannot forget the day when you, mama, walked away.
Can't forget the day that you walked away,
I can't forget the day when you walked away.
When you come back next time, here to stay,
When you come back next time, it's expected to be a lasting return.
That's the reason I'm telling you mama you're losin' out.
Consequently, I'm warning you, mama, that you're missing out on something.
Well it was early one morning you come draggin' home,
Early one morning, you returned home tired or worn out.
Well it was early one morning you come draggin' home,
Reiteration of the early morning return with a sense of fatigue.
It was early morning, dragging home say forgive me daddy for I gone wrong,
Apology for wrongdoing, seeking forgiveness from the father.
That's the reason I'm telling you mama you're losin' out.
Implying that despite the apology, the consequence is the mother missing out.
Well you left that time and you ain't gonna leave no more,
Assurance that the departure won't happen again.
Yeah, you left that time and you ain't gonna leave no more,
Reiteration that the departure won't recur.
Well you left that time, ain't gonna leave no more,
Emphasizing the commitment to stay this time.
I'm putting a lock on my back door,
Symbolic gesture of securing the relationship by putting a lock on the door.
And that's the reason I'm telling you mama you're losin' out.

Well I followed my baby to her barren place,

Yeah I followed my baby to her barren place,

Well I followed my baby to her barren place,

Expressing difficulty in finding someone else to replace the partner.
That's the reason I'm telling you mama you're losin' out.
