All that I could lose, I lost Never stopped to count the cost
Glasses, tickets, lighters, gloves Keys and wallets, coats and gloves
Left them laughing after school Dropped them at the swimming pool
Lost my hankies, handbags, books Lost my memory and my looks
Lost my mama's emerald ring Lost my castle and my king
Didn't know what they were worth Now a day they cost the earth
What a careless girl was I Taking chances, getting high
Never stopped to count the cost All that I could lose, I lost
Lost my way and lost my head Where was I? I lost the thread
Lost my way and lost my head Where was I? I lost the thread
Lost my way and lost my head Where was I? I lost the thread
Where was I? I lost the thread
