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

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

But why make all this fuss about a heart
It's something to discuss by ourselves apart
If what you've found you prize, let's compromise
Love will soon arrange it for your exchange

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
