You're, you're, you're gonna make me lose my
You're, you're, you're gonna make me lose my
You're, you're, you're gonna make me lose my
You're, you're, you're gonna make me lose my
You're, you're, you're gonna make me lose my
You're, you're, you're gonna make me lose my
You're, you're, you're gonna make me lose my
You're gon' make me lose my mind
Up in here, up, up, up in here
You're gon' make me act a fool
So uncool, so uncool
And tellin' me you love me, but you got a new girl
And I know it's my fault, I'm lovin' in a different world
But baby if you want this, you just let me know
So I don't go find another, so I don't just let go
Baby you're my soul, you make me feel whole
And it's cold outside, rainy, oh rainy night you might
And all I want is you, tell me what we're gonna do
This waitin' game doesn't work, waitin' game doesn't work
Fuck each other, each other over
Fuck each other up over again
Now I, over again, over again
Over again
You're gon' make me lose my mind
Up in here, up, up, up in here
You're gon' make me go all out
In here, in here
You're gon' make me act a fool
In here, in here
And you're gon' make me lose my cool
Janine and the Mixtape's song "Lose My Mind" talks about a situation where the persona is losing her mind over a lover who keeps playing games with her. The repetition of "You're gonna make me lose my" throughout the song creates a feeling of frustration and defeat. The chorus "You're gon' make me lose my mind up in here" emphasizes the point that the persona is on the brink of losing her sanity due to this on-again-off-again fling. She feels betrayed by the person she loves but also blames herself for getting involved in a relationship that she knows is bound to end.
The second verse is a plea from Janine to her lover to be honest with her about his intentions. She feels like she is living in a different world from him. The persona feels like she is waiting in vain as the waiting game doesn't work. She is willing to give the relationship another chance, but the lover seems to be playing with her heart. The line "Baby, you're my soul, you make me feel whole" acknowledges the fact that loving someone so much makes it harder to let them go. The persona is in the dark, and all she wants is some clarity about their relationship.
In conclusion, "Lose My Mind" is a song about the struggle of trying to hold on to a relationship that's not working out. It explores the feeling of anguish, desperation, and confusion that comes with loving the wrong person. Janine shows how it feels to lose control and gives a voice to the people entangled in complicated relationships.
