One of the best known American power pop bands, the group's biggest hits over the years include "I Want You to Want Me", "Surrender", "Dream Police", "Don't Be Cruel" (a cover of Elvis Presley's hit), and "The Flame". Their most recent release, The Latest, has gained critical acclaim. They also wrote and performed the theme song for "The Colbert Report" as well as "That 70s Show", both tunes being fan favorites.
Nielsen and Petersson originally formed the group as Fuse in 1967, with Carlos joining the group several years later; however, when Zander joined as vocalist in 1972, the group was renamed Cheap Trick. Zander is considered one of the best hard rock vocalists of his era. For their part, Tom Petersson has been known for playing custom made 8, 12, and even a 18 string custom bass made by Modulus for Tom in 1981 and Rick Nielsen also has a penchant for unusual instruments. He owns and plays a five-necked solidbody electric guitar (it can be seen in the video for the song "She's Tight" among others).

How About You
Cheap Trick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never finished last
Like to change the pace
Like to change it fast
And I'm ready to try
Just can't sit around here too long
I can feel the wheels are spinning strong
Does anyone feel the same as me
Well how 'bout you
I said goodbye to bad luck
I've had enough
But I know I'll be back, dear
Didn't fall off the side of the earth
Gonna turn it all around
How 'bout you, how 'bout me, how 'bout you
Do you like your love soft and warm
Do you like it hard, hot and long
Like you're ready to die
Sometimes I feel all wound up
Head starts spinnin', it'll never stop
Does anyone feel the same as me
Does anyone disagree
Well how 'bout you
I said bad times kiss them goodbye
I want changes, but
I know I'll be back, dear
Didn't fall off the side of the earth
Gonna turn it all around
How 'bout you, how 'bout me, how 'bout you
I know I'll be back, dear
Didn't fall off the side of the earth
Gonna turn it all around
How 'bout you, how 'bout me, how 'bout you

Line by Line Meaning
Never started out first
I've never been the one to start things off
Never finished last
But I've never been the last one to finish either
Like to change the pace
I like to mix things up and try new things
Like to change it fast
And I like to do it quickly, without hesitation
And I'm ready to try
I'm eager and willing to take on new challenges and experiences
Just can't sit around here too long
I can't handle staying in one place or situation for too long
I can feel the wheels are spinning strong
I have a lot of energy and motivation to move forward
Does anyone feel the same as me
I wonder if others share my feelings and desires
Does anyone disagree
Or if there are those who have a different perspective
Well how 'bout you
What do you have to say about it?
I said goodbye to bad luck
I'm leaving behind negative experiences and influences
I've had enough
I've reached my limit and am ready for a change
But I know I'll be back, dear
Although I'm moving on, I recognize that I may return someday
Didn't fall off the side of the earth
I haven't disappeared completely, just taking a different path
Gonna turn it all around
I'm going to make positive changes and improve my situation
Do you like your love soft and warm
I'm curious about others' preferences and attitudes towards love
Do you like it hard, hot and long
And I'm wondering if they prefer a more intense and passionate experience
Like you're ready to die
Or if they approach it with a sense of urgency and intensity
Sometimes I feel all wound up
Sometimes I get caught up in my own thoughts and emotions
Head starts spinnin', it'll never stop
And it can be overwhelming, like a never-ending spiral
I want changes, but
Although I desire change,
I know I'll be back, dear
I also acknowledge that I may return to my old ways
How 'bout you, how 'bout me, how 'bout you
So what do you think? Where do you stand in all of this?

I'm Losing You
John Lennon
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
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
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
You say you're not getting enough
But I remind you of all that bad stuff
So what the hell am I supposed to do?
Just put…
Аделина капибара арбуз
Перевод текста песни I'm Losing You исполнителя (группы) John Lennon
I'm Losing You (оригинал John Lennon)
Я теряю тебя (перевод Артем из Балашова)
Here in some stranger's room
Я проснулся после полудня
Late in the afternoon
В комнате какого-то незнакомца.
What am I doing here at all?
Что я вообще здесь делаю?
Ain't no doubt about it
Никаких сомнений:
I'm losing you
Я теряю тебя,
I'm losing you
Я теряю тебе.
Somehow the wires got crossed
Каким-то образом всё перепуталось,
Communication's lost
Мы потеряли связь.
Can't even get you on the telephone
Не могу даже дозвониться до тебя,
Just got to shout about it
Остается только кричать:
I'm losing you
Я теряю тебя,
I'm losing you
Я теряю тебя.
Well, here in the valley of indecision
Я нахожусь на тропе нерешимости,
I don't know what to do
Не представляю, что мне делать.
I feel you slipping away
Я чувствую, что ты ускользаешь от меня,
I feel you slipping away
Я чувствую, что ты ускользаешь от меня.
I'm losing you
Я теряю тебя,
I'm losing you
Я теряю тебя.
Well now, you say you're not getting enough
Сейчас ты говоришь, что мы не должны расставаться,
But I remind you of all that bad, bad, bad stuff
Но я напоминаю тебе о всех плохих, плохих, плохих вещах.
So what the hell am I supposed to do?
Так что же, чёрт возьми, мне надо делать?
Just put a bandaid on it?
Замотать бинтом?
And stop the bleeding now
И остановить кровотечение,
Stop the bleeding now
Остановить кровотечение.
I'm losing you
Я теряю тебя,
I'm losing you
Я теряю тебя.
Well, well, well
Так, так, так.
I know I hurt you then
Я знаю, я обидел тебя,
But hell, that was way back when
Но, чёрт, это было давно.
Well, do you still have to carry that cross? (drop it)
Хорошо, ты всё ещё держишь обиду? (перестань)
Don't want to hear about it
Не хочу слышать об этом.
I'm losing you
Я теряю тебя,
I'm losing you
Я теряю тебя.
Don't want to lose you now
Не хочу терять тебя теперь.
Welllllllll!
Хорошо-о-о!
So long ago
Это было так давно.
小嶋保
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,
誰か見知らぬ人の部屋で
もう日が暮れる頃
僕はいったいここで何をしてるんだ？
もう疑う余地がない…
僕はきみを失いかけてるんだ…
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,
とにかく電話が混線してる
連絡が取れないんだ
きみと電話がつながらないんだ
叫ぶことしかできない
僕はきみを失おうとしてる…
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,
ここ"ためらいの谷間"にいて
僕はどうしていいかわからない
きみがすり抜けていく
つかもうとしてもつかめない
きみを失いかけてるんだ
きみを失おうとしてるんだ…
You say your not getting enough,
But I remind you of all that 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,
きみは"満足できない"と言う
きみに"悪いこと"はすべて思い出させたのに
僕はどうしたらいいんだろう？
バンドエイドでも貼ればいいのかい？
まずは 流れ出す血を止めてくれ
今すぐ 流れ出す血を止めてくれ
I know I hurt you then,
But that was way back when,
And well, do you still have to carry that cross?
Don't want to hear about it,
I'm losing you,
I'm losing you.
かつて僕はきみを傷つけたよね
でもそれはもう過去のことさ
ああ きみはまだ十字架を背負ってるのかい？
もうそんなこと聞きたくないよ
きみを失おうとしてる…
僕はきみを失ってしまうのか…
Иван К
Теряю тебя
В пересеченьи дней
Среди чужих людей
Я вдруг очнулся. Что со мной?
Просто показалось:
Тебя теряю я,
Теряю я.
Но между нами нить,
Нас не разъединить,
Где-то записан твой телефон…
И лишь в висках стучится:
Тебя теряю я,
Теряю я.
Эй, это как выпасть в неизвестность.
Что не так, ты скажи?
Но ты уже не со мной,
Ты уже не со мной…
Тебя теряю я,
Теряю я.
О да, ты спросишь – есть ли смысл
Нам вместе снова падать, падать, падать вниз?
Ты можешь что-то предложить ещё?
Лишь обложиться ватой,
Чтоб исчезла боль,
Исчезла боль…
Тебя теряю я,
Теряю я.
Твоей обиды срок,
Чёрт, давно б уж выйти мог.
Стоит ли дальше нести этот крест?
Неужто ты не слышишь?
Тебя теряю я,
Теряю я!
А я не хочу терять…
Иван Костромин (Маевский)
Jorge Alberto Rodriguez Kissner
Les pareció que no iba a gustar esta versión.
Es una de las mejores canciones de Lennon.
Y esta es la mejor interpretación.
Por lejos.
steve stroh
Never knew this existed till late 2022, 42 years later. Sounds great, too bad he didn’t use these guys for the whole album. It was great to hear his voice in what was a new version for me.
Rich Bailey
They got the gig through the producer Jack Douglas...who recommended them to him. Jack Douglas has originally discovered them and at the time they were trying to get Lennon to produce their first album. (When he met them at the sessions for this he said he would have loved to)...When the first appeared John said to Rick something like "Oh...it's you!" because he thought that Jack Douglas had hired Rick NELSON!!!!!..:)...I thought they were great with him. They also covered Gimme Some Truth
Ken Lieck
Have you heard the awesome Steve Albini remake of "In Color"? There's a bonus version of this song on there as well...
Mike Valbuena
Haven't heard John's voice in awhile and hearing it now makes me miss him all over again:(
Colin Irons
Know that feeling 😢

William Mandel
This is AWESOME. Cheap Trick was the sh*t back then and Tony Levin is a session God. I caught one of his pics at a Peter Gabriel concert. This raw sound is how I wish the whole Double Fantasy sounded
Randystudio217
Hands down the best version of this song. Wish Cheap Trick had made double fantasy. Wish this were re uploaded in HD
TracyLynn Edgar
I’m not liking it at all!!! I had high hopes.
