There were three happy people that I used to know
But one of them was foolish and let the other two go
Now two of them are together but for one it's too bad
Two from three is one lonely people I never could add

The only thing I ever add was the baby in our home
But both of them were mistreated now the two of them are gone
Just for one careless moment I lost all I had
Two from three is one lonely people I never could add

Add something with something and you can't gain anything
But take take something from something and you can lose everything
My misfortune was adding I couldn't build on what I had
Two from three is one lonely people I never could add
