[Verse 1]

Loretta, I see you walking now and then

Loretta, I see you coming near

[Chorus]

Why's it oh so hard to turn back and finally whisper

How are we supposed to carry on?

Well I've got to, for now

[Verse 2]

Forget her, and everything she said, she lied

I met her morning, noon and night

Well I'd say I fooled ya

So, Loretta, you never won the fight

[Chorus]

Why's it oh so hard to turn back and finally whisper

How are we supposed to carry on?

Well I've got to, for now

[Outro]

(Loretta, I've got to)

(Loretta, I've got to)

(Loretta, I've got to)

(Loretta)
