Losing my mind

From The Gliding Faces wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

"Losing my mind" is a song originally from the Sondheim musical Follies. In 1989, it was re-recorded and released by Liza Minnelli with Pet Shop Boys on production duties, transforming the song into a hi-NRG anthem. Using this as a jumping-off point, The Gliding Faces decided that the song would be the lead single for On the nose. That is, until Stranger Things season four happened. But for that, you have to go over to the page for "Running up that hill".

Lyrics

The sun comes up
 I think about you
 The coffee cup
 I think about you
 
 I want you so
 It's like I'm losing my mind
 
 The morning ends
 I think about you
 I talk to friends
 And think about you
 
 And do they know
 It's like I'm losing my mind
 
 All afternoon doing every little chore
 The thought of you stays bright
 Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
 Not going left
 Not going right
 
 I dim the lights and think about you
 Spend sleepless nights to think about you
 
 You said you loved me
 Or were you just being kind
 Or am I losing
 Losing my mind
 
 All afternoon doing every little chore
 The thought of you stays bright
 Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
 Not going left
 Not going right
 
 I dim the lights to think about you
 Spend sleepless night to think about you
 
 You said you loved me
 Or were just being kind
 Or am I losing my mind
 
 You said you loved me
 Or were you just being kind
 Or am I losing
 Or am I losing my mind
 
 You said you loved me
 Or were you just being kind
 Or am I losing my mind
 
 Losing my mind
 Losing my mind
 Losing my mind
 Losing my mind
