Losing Game
Conya Doss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then we make up
It's a game for fools
Don't wanna love me
You don't wanna leave me
Do you like confusing me
Or this is what you do?
But it's pointless
For me to argue
Not gonna leave you
But I'm telling you the truth
(When I say, hey)
Sometimes love is like a losing game
It goes round and round
Round and round
Round and round
(Sometimes it feels)
Sometimes love is like a crazy game
It goes round and round
Round and round
Round and round
Round and round
Even if I had my way I know I would be
Here with you
Tryin' to work it out, baby
We gotta work it out, baby
'Cause you're my sunshine
And you're my rain
You bring me joy, sometimes
You bring me pain
But it's okay
'Cause you're my baby
I know you love me
But all I'm tryin' to say
(Is that sometimes)
Sometimes love is like a losing game
It goes round and round
Round and round
Round and round
Sometimes love is like a crazy game
It goes round and round
Round and round
Round and round
Round and round
(But we gotta keep on)
Keep on lovin'
(Gotta keep on)
Keep on lovin' you
(Keep on)
Keep on lovin'
(Keep on)
Keep on
(Sometimes love)
Sometimes love is like a crazy game
It goes round and round
Round and round
Round and round
Round and round
Sometimes love is like a losing game
It goes round and round
Round and round
Round and round
Sometimes love is like a crazy game
It goes round and round
Round and round
Round and round
Round and round
Keep on lovin'
Keep on lovin'
Keep on lovin'
Keep on
Keep on lovin'
Keep on lovin'
Keep on lovin'
Keep on
The lyrics to Conya Doss's song "Losing Game" are about the ups and downs of a turbulent relationship. The singer is in a back-and-forth cycle with their partner, breaking up and making up repeatedly. They question whether their partner really loves them or if they just enjoy confusing them. The singer acknowledges the futility of arguing and knows that they won't leave their partner despite the difficulties in the relationship. The chorus explains that love can be like a losing game, going around and around, with moments of joy and pain. However, the singer is willing to continue working on the relationship because their partner is their "sunshine and rain" and they ultimately love each other.
The song's message is relatable, as many people have experienced rocky relationships that seem to be going nowhere. The repetition of "round and round" in the chorus emphasizes the cyclical nature of the relationship and the frustration that can come with it. The use of the word "game" in the title and throughout the song also implies a sense of competition or manipulation between the partners, adding to the tension.

"THE DEFINITION OF NEO-SOUL"
Neo-Soul is a timeless musical genre that fuses real instrumental, Jazz, contemporary R&B and 1970s-style soul,funk,and rock with some elements of hip-hop. As it's name (new soul) implies, Neo-Soul music is essentially modern-day soul music, with contemporary attitudes and sensibilities. It differs from contemporary R&B in that it's organic and obviously more soulful,and it also tends to have deeper messages and meanings than R&B.
