I'm Losing You
Faces Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your love is fading I can feel your love fading
Woman it's fading away from me
'Cause your personal touch has grown cold
As if someone else controls your very soul
I fooled myself long as I can
I can feel the presence of another man

It's there when you speak my name
It's just not the same
Oh honey I'm losing you
I can feel it in the air, it's there everywhere
Oh I'm losing you

I can feel it in my bones
Any day you'll be up and gone
Oh I'm losing you
It's all over your face someone's takin' my place
Could it be that I'm losing you

When I look into your eyes a reflection of a face I see
Oh Lord I'm losing you
I'm hurt, downhearted and worried girl
'Cause that face doesn't belong to me

Your love is fadin' I can feel it fadin'
Oh away from me
I can feel it in the air, it's there everywhere
Oh I'm losing you
I don't wanna lose you
But I know I'm gonna groove you
Oh Lord I'm losing you

I don't wanna lose you
But I know I'm gonna groove you
Oh Lord I'm losing you, and I'm a losin' you





Your love is fadin' I can feel it fadin'
Oh Lord I'm losing you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Faces' song "I'm Losing You" are about the painful experience of watching someone you love slip away from you. The singer is aware that his partner's affection for him is fading, and he senses the presence of another man in her life. He tries to hold onto her, but he knows that it is only a matter of time before she leaves him. The singer is almost resigned to the fact that he will lose her, but he still cannot bear the thought of it. The lyrics are simple and direct, but they are filled with emotional depth and vulnerability.


The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer laments that he can feel his partner's love fading away from him. He realizes that she has become emotionally distant from him and that her personal touch has grown cold. The singer observes that it seems like someone else controls her very soul, and this realization fills him with despair. The line "I fooled myself long as I can" suggests that the singer has tried to ignore the signs of his partner's growing disaffection, but he can no longer deny what is happening.


The chorus of the song is a repetition of the title, "I'm Losing You." The refrain expresses the singer's sense of inevitability about the situation. He can feel it in the air and sees it on her face. He knows that any day now, she will be up and gone. The line "Could it be that I'm losing you" is a rhetorical question, as the singer knows that the answer is yes. He cannot bear the thought of this loss, and the repetition of the title emphasizes his sense of powerlessness.

Not all of us.😊

@allanfranklin417

Not a dancing girl in sight, no pyrotechnics, no laser lights---just pure rock and roll. I long for the old days.

@bigbopper6434

Agreed... Straight up rock and roll... And not to mention (on this song particularly) a groove and rhythm section that is an absolute strut down any street it chooses to walk down. Thank GOD for times like these and memories of music like this.

In the 1960's and early 70's, when Rod Stewart was in reality a British blues singer, he was sensational.
