I'm Losing You

John Lennon · Lennon - Signature Box [2010]

[Here in some stranger's room,

Late in the afternoon,

What am I doing here at all?

Ain't no doubt about it,

I'm losing you,

I'm losing you

Somehow the wires have crossed,

Communication's lost,

Can't even get you on the telephone,

Just got to shout about it,

I'm losing you,

I'm losing you, well

Here in the valley of indecision,

I don't know what to do,

I feel you sliping away,

I feel you sliping away,

I'm losing you,

I'm losing you, well know

You say your not getting enough,

But I remind you all that bad, bad, bad stuff,

So what the hell am I supposed to do?

Just put a bandaid on it?

And stop the bleeding now,

Stop the bleeding now, well

I'm losing you,

I'm losing you, well, well, well

I know I hurt you then

But hell, that was way back when

Well, do you still have to carry that cross? (drop it)

Dont want to hear about it

Im losing you

Im losing you

Dont want to lose you now

Welllllllll!

So long ago]
