Lyrics

VERSE
Don’t want to lose him, but he’s slippin’ away
Can’t seem to stop him or show him the way
So many good times; guess I never understood
That it could take his mind; I never thought it would

CHORUS
He’s quite the attraction
But now it’s an uphill climb
’Cause I’m losing him by fractions
One fifth at a time

VERSE
Good times to bad, not much left to hold onto
He may never know what he has put me through
When it holds him so tight, his world becomes the night
And he forgets the difference between wrong and right

Repeat CHORUS/VERSE
He’s about the best thing ever happened to me
I’d do most anything to see him gettin’ free
But I can’t take much more; we’re wastin’ away
Though there’s hope in my heart that help is on the way

Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Yes, I’m losing him by fractions; one fifth at a time
