Losin' Myself
Deborah Gibson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost all reality, you've really got a hold
Turned myself over to you body, mind and soul
It might seem crazy and though I'm in over my head
Got no direction and my world is spinnin' round
Feel like I'm risin' up and never comin' down
A million people talk but I don't hear a word they say
Don't know what to do/nothin' I can do
I'm losin' myself over you
(And it hurts me so right)
Can't deny it's true
You know I couldn't fight it baby even if I wanted to
I'm losin' myself...over you
Verse:
Love like the ocean feel it rushin' over me
You are the treasure that I've searched for desperately
The tide it races in, it's pullin' me out to the sea...
Willingly
You're my celebration boy, the reason I exist
I feel a hundred lifetimes deep within your kiss
Don't say a word just hold me close
I hear your heart talkin' to me...
Secretly
Chorus
Bridge:
And when the darkness came
You washed away the pain
You can do anything when it comes to me
I won't hold back
I wanna know no shame
Take me away in the sky...

This was her last hot 100 song

One of my favorite songs/videos from Deb and also one of the most sensual. Very sexy without pushing boundaries and well done despite that Atlantic forced her to be more edgier and she didn't feel comfortable with herself at the time. Unfortunately, ignored by radio and MTV despite being a potential smash hit. If had been recorded by Madonna or Janet, it would be overplayed. The video was directed by Matthew Rolston who worked with En Vogue and TLC

I used to be a fan of hers years ago and have even met her. I personally think this was the best song she ever did even though the album it came from is extremely underrated Body Mind Soul
Jeff D
she still sounds amazing over all these no talents today for sure!!!
Donna jo catlady
Always been a fan, but I never noticed how FANTASTICALLY PERFECT Debbie's teeth are. And such a sultry song. 🥰

I think this is her best sound. For me the teen pop stars unknown stuff is their best.
Veronica Lee
