Butler John Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
would rather not sacrifice.
You girl I cannot live without
and you know there's no doubt that
All I mind's losing you.
I don't mind losing sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
but till then won't you share my bed
cuz all I mind's losing you
All I mind's losing you
And I don't mind losing money
There's nothin this life owes me
I've been given morethan I can receive
But for you there's no receipt
So all I mind's losing you
All I mind's losing you
I don't mind growin o-old
Losing teeth and going bald
Not as handsome as I ever was
But you love me just because
All I mind's losing you
All I mind's losing you
There are things in this life I
would rather not sacrifice.
You girl I cannot live without
and you know there's no doubt that
All I mind's losing you (x3)
The Butler John Trio's song "Losing You" strikes a chord with listeners as it expresses the idea that there are certain things in life that are more important than others, namely love and companionship. The song's lyrics speak to the singer's willingness to lose just about anything - sleep, money, youth - as long as he is able to keep the person he loves beside him.
The first stanza sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer admits that there are things in life worth sacrificing, but his love for this person is not one of them. The repetition of "All I mind's losing you" reinforces the idea that everything else pales in comparison to the importance of the loved one. The second stanza, where the singer proclaims that he does not mind losing sleep or money, further emphasizes this devotion. The third stanza adds a touch of humor, suggesting that the singer is willing to get old and unattractive, as long as he can keep his beloved.
Overall, "Losing You" is a touching tribute to the power of love and the lengths to which one might go to preserve it. The song is a reminder that, even in a world where so much is transient and fleeting, the bond between two people can endure.

There are things in this life I,
Would rather not sacrifice
You girl I cannot live without
And you know there's no doubt that
All I mind's losing you
And I don't mind losing sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
I'll get plenty rest so when I'm dead but 'till,
'Till then won't you share my bed 'cause,
All I mind's losing you
All I mind's losing you
And I don't mind losing money
There's nothing this life owes me
I've been given more than I can receive
But for, for you there's no receipt so,
All I mind's losing you
All I mind's losing you
And I don't mind growing old
Losing teeth and going bald
Not as handsome as I never was but,
You love me just because
All I mind's losing you
All I mind's losing you
And there are things in this life I,
Would rather not sacrifice
You girl I cannot live without
And you know there's no doubt that
All I mind's losing you
All I mind's losing you
All I mind's losing you

This song was a temporary saver for me. Some time back when the father of my children and I were relentlessly arguing, catching him cheating and just treating me like this . This song brought me to the place I needed. Brought me to the mind set, that I don't mind loosing him. And guess what, in happy and okay. ❤️❤️❤️
