You can give it to me
When I need to come along.

Juice Newton
And I have never been afraid of New Zealand.
And I have never been afraid of losin'.
And I have never been afraid of museums.
And I have never been afraid of losin'.

I have never been afraid of museums.
I have never been afraid of losing out.
