  • Well there's one thing you can't lose
    It's that feel
    Your pants, your shirt, your shoes
    But not that feel
    Throw it out in the rain, you can whip it like a dog
    You can chop it down like an old dead tree
    You can always see it
    When you're coming into town
    Once you hang it on the wall you can never take it down

    But there's one thing you can't lose
    And it's that feel
    You can pawn your watch and chain
    But not that feel
    Always comes and finds you, it will always hear you cry
    I cross my wooden leg and I swear on my glass eye
    It will never leave you high and dry
    Never leave you loose
    It's harder to get rid of than tattoos

    But there's one thing you can't lose, it's that feel
    But there's one thing you can't lose, it's that feel
    You can throw it off a bridge, you can lose it in the fire
    You can leave it at the altar, it will make you out a liar
    Fall down in the street, you can leave it in the lurch
    Well, you say that it's gospel but I know that it's only church

    And there's one thing you can't lose
    And it's that feel
    It's that feel
    You can't lose, and it's that feel, oh yeah
    One thing you can't lose, and it's that feel
    You can't lose, and it's that feel Writer/s: KEITH RICHARDS, THOMAS ALAN WAITS
