Losing My Mind
Liza Minnelli Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sun comes up, I think about you
The coffee cup, I think about you
I want you so, it's like I'm losing my mind

The morning ends, I think about you
I talk to friends and think about you
And do they know it's like I'm losing my mind?
All afternoon doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left, not going right

I dim the lights and think about you
Spend sleepless nights to think about you
You said you loved me, or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing
Losing my mind?

All afternoon doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left, not going right

I dim the lights and think about you
Spend sleepless nights to think about you
You said you loved me, or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?

Or am I losing my mind?
You said you loved me, or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?
Or were you just being kind?




Or am I losing my mind?
Losing my mind

They wonder if their friends can tell that they are consumed with thoughts of this person. The thought of their loved one is so powerful that it interrupts their daily routine, and they are unable to focus on anything else. The lyrics also suggest that the singer's feelings for this person may not be reciprocated which adds even more to the emotional intensity of the song.

@@wilburmcbride8096 Can Corona be a sin?

Can Corona be a sin?
May no-one know,
when one kisses,
when one forgets everything,
But not of fear?

Can Corona really be a sin,
when one only thinks of one person,
when one gave him everything,
and lives now in a old peoples home?

I will never regret
what I did,
and what happened through love,
that you must forgive me,
to live without fear!

Corona cannot be a sin,
but even if it were,
it wouldn't matter to me,
I'd rather sin
than being with fear!

Every little prig makes
life a pain for me,
for he speaks only of morals.
And whatever he thinks or does,
one unfortunately sees,
that he is unable to see anyone happy.

If he says:
In my time
Corona didn't go on like that!
I ask quite modestly
with a smile on my face:
„Flu didnˋt exist?“

Must no-one know,
when one kisses,
when one forgets everything,
out of happiness?"

Can Corona really be a sin,
when one sits on a bench in a Park,
reading a book or drinks coffee?

Corona cannot be a sin,
but even if it were,
it wouldn't matter to me,
I'd rather sin
than being with fear!

Liza Minnelli and Pet Shop Boys, a perfect match.🤩

@charliemoncada3773

Una Liza Minelli de ama de casa y con los ganchos de ropa vacíos 🤔 si, bastante creíble 😂 😂 😂

@michaelcarvalho6096

Liza Minnelli was Drop Dead Gorgeous and hottest than thousand hells in her youth. She was the greatest sex symbol of the world in her age.🤩

@tanyakelly1260

Did the Pet Shop Boys do this song for her?
