When’d I lose your love?

Was it on a Monday when I had my working blues?

Or maybe it was Tuesday when I had so much to do?

It might have been on Wednesday – I had football on my mind.

But maybe it was Thursday when I went out with the guys?

Then Friday came and there I was, and honey you were gone.

I went to bed till Saturday, and still you were not home.

Then Sunday hit me in the face just like a boxing glove,

I finally found my senses, but honey when’d I lose your love?

I thought I did the right things right, the flowers and the wine.

Remembered all your birthdays, well okay, most of the time.

I told you that I loved you babe, when you were feeling sad,

and that you were the best damn lay a man could ever have.

Well hell I ain’t no poet honey, what did you expect?

I’m just a good ole cowboy, what you see is what you git.

On Monday I didn’t miss you much, ‘cept when I went to bed.

And Tuesday I was busy keeping you out of my head.

Wednesday sure was hump day, and I’m doing really fine.

Thursday I didn’t meet the boys, I had you on my mind.

Then Friday came and there I was, and honey you were gone.

I went to bed till Saturday- sure wish you’d come back home.

Then Sunday hit me in the face with one thing I’m sure of.

I don’t need much from this old world, but babe I need your love.
