"Can't Lose You" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their third album Bloody Kisses, released in 1993. The closing track features a prominent Beatles-esque sitar performed by Paul Bento. 'No I can't lose you' is chanted in eight out of ten lines in the lyrics. This song refers to refusing to lose his lover.
The end of the song has two hidden messages, "Everybody smokes pot, Monte Conner sucks cock". It was taken from the Beatles song "I Am the Walrus". Monte Conner is a reference to the former president of A&R of Roadrunner Records.
The second hidden message comes just before the Monte Conner reference, in which Kenny Hickey repeats: “Say these words are written in semen, all the while the girls are screamin’…Peter!”
