You could move away, you could build a home
With somebody I don’t know
Doesn’t matter what you say
It’s not ever gonna change, you can fight the truth
‘Til your face turns blue
This love is here to stay
But there will be a day when I don’t hear a sound
I’ll be six-feet underground
And that’ll be the day I lose you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
That’ll be the day I lose you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
That’ll be the day
I could pretend that I have a chance
At another romance
But, honey, in the end
Even if I try, I’ll be wasting breath, I’ll be faking sex
‘Cause you’ll be on my mind
But there will be a day when I don’t hear a sound
I’ll be six-feet underground
And that’ll be the day I lose you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
That’ll be the day I lose you
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Will you come over tonight?
We can swallow our pride
We can swallow some wine
‘Cause there will be a day I lose you
