Lyrics

It pays to advertise.
That’s what they say.
And so I’ll advertise:
My heart’s gone astray.
I missed it first of all the day we met.
For your information here’s the situation:

Chorus:
Lost a heart as good as new
Lost the moment I met you
Lost or strayed or stolen away
Finders keepers, losers weepers
Lost two lips that look like mine
Found two lips that look divine
Lost my heart but I was lucky, too
Because I lost my heart to you
