John Lennon - Double Fantasy - 05 - I'm Losing You

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 got 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 slipping away
I feel you slipping away
I'm losing you
I'm losing you

Well now, you say you're not getting enough
But I remind you of 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

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)
Don't want to hear about it
I'm losing you
I'm losing you
Don't want to lose you now
Welllllllll!
So long ago

[pavlabel1]

Great lyrics, great vocals, great song. Thanks John.

I am not even a big john lennon fan (as oppose to some of you here) but this song is great. I love the bitterness of it.

@braclo93 Well said

[braclo93]

Looking at the lyrics, I can't help but wonder if John is speaking to Paul. The stranger could be Yoko and he's wondering why he's playing solo instead of in the Beatles, where he truly belongs.

@lyonslaforet when u wrote covers i thought u meant like john covered this i was like omg no way! coz i can hear his style in every bit of it lol silly me x

[lyonslaforet]

@MrAtishraja This is one of my favorite covers in the history of rock. It's so full of tenderness!

[MrAtishraja]

Yoko looks really beautiful on the cover of Double Fantasy.

@chingchangchongfly I know what you mean. have you heard the version with Cheap Trick ?

I like it better.

[Squibfire]

@chingchangchongfly i think perhaps you misread what i was saying, i wasnt trying to offend you, i just misunderstood where you were coming from, im very used to people considering terrific songs like this as "light" i agree that it would have given it a cool edge if he had sung it with more grit, i heard a cool demo version somewhere where the guitar was really fuzzed out and blood thirsty, i dont remember where though

[chingchangchongfly]

@Squibfire I don't know who you think you're writing to, but I did not say it was a ballad. I said it was sung like a ballad. And yes, I'm fully aware that Lennon sang some magnificent ballads. My point was that the guitar should grind and hiss, distort, and Lennon should scream the last verse like his voice is being shredded by a wire brush.
