[Intro: AJ]
Oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1: Nick & All]
I never thought that I would lose my mind
That I could control this
Never thought that I'd be left behind
That I was stronger than you (baby)
Girl, if only I knew what I've done
You know, so why don't you tell me
(And I) I would bring down the moon and the sun
To show how much I care

[Chorus: All]
Don't wanna lose you now
Baby, I know we can win this
Don't wanna lose you now
No-no, or ever again

[Verse 2: Brian with Kevin, All]
I've got this feeling you're not gonna stay
It's burning within me
The fear or losing of slipping away
It just keeps getting closer (baby)
Whatever reason to leave that I've had
My place was always beside you
And I wish that I didn't need you so bad
You're face just won't go away

[Chorus: All & AJ]
Don't wanna lose you now
(Don't wanna lose you now)
Baby, I know we can win this
Don't wanna lose you now
(Don't wanna lose you now)
No-no, or ever again
Don't wanna lose you now
(Don't wanna lose you now)

[Bridge: AJ, Nick & All]
I never thought that I would lose my mind
That I could control this, yes
Never thought that I'd be left behind
That I was stronger than you, oh-oh!
Don't wanna lose to loneliness
Girl, I know we can win
Don't wanna lose to emptiness
(Oh-no) never again

[Chorus: All, Brian & Nick]
Don't wanna lose you now (no way)
Baby, I know we can win this
Don't wanna lose you now
No-no, or ever again (we just begun this)

[Outro: AJ & All]
Don't want to lose you now
Oh I know we can this
(Don't wanna lose you now)
Don't want to lose you now
No-no, or ever again
Don't wanna lose you now

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
