Lost in You
Rod Stewart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey! Baby, you've been on my mind tonight
I'm so low, I just had to sit down and write
I spent all yesterday tryin' to figure out what I'm gonna say
One letter from the heart is so hard to start, baby
How's your momma, how's the weather, how's that son of mine? yeah!

Hey! Baby, been a long time since we made love
I'm stone cold, the bed's hard, and the work gets tough
I'm never gonna leave you again
This job ain't worth the pain
No money in the world ain't worth bein' away from you
Ooh, baby I don't sleep without you by my side
Listen!

I'm in love with you, woman, it's a common known, natural fact
And I found what I'm lookin' for, but so much more than that
I'm lost in you (I'm lost in you)
I'm lost in you (I'm lost in you)
I'm lost in you (I'm lost in you)
I'm lost in you (I'm lost in you)

Hey! Baby, you don't know what you've done for me
I'm so happy as any man can deserve to be
I was livin' a life of sin
God knows what a mess I was in
Sure glad you found me, I ain't gettin' any younger
Hey! Baby, I just hope it ain't all a dream

I'm in love with you, woman, it's a common known, natural fact
And I found what I'm lookin' for, but so much more than that
I'm lost in you (I'm lost in you)
I'm lost in you (I'm lost in you)
I'm lost in you (I'm lost in you)
I'm lost in you (I'm lost in you) hey!

I miss you, baby (I miss you too)

I miss your laughin' eyes
I miss our baby cryin'
I want to lay you out and kiss you all over
I'm comin' home real soon
Be ready,'cause when I do, I'm gonna make love to you like fifteen men!




I'm lost in you, and I love it
I'm lost in you, and I love it

I think we all can agree that this song is a gem, and the 80s were FABULOUS❤❤❤

@bryanackeret5066

This is my all time favorite Rod Stewart song. It totally takes me back to the 80's.I turned 21 in 1988.

@thetruthfornow6045

Try something without a drum machine like Mandolin Wind.

@wellington66440

mine too! heard it for the first time on my birthday in that very year.

@LourivalConceicaoSilvaJunior

@HEADBANGERSBALLER

This is mine too along with Love Touch. 🎉

@markargenas4367

Love this song! Takes me back to a better time!

@paulgreenaway-jl6ik

Me too mate 😊

@williamhickman4979

His 80s stuff is hugely underrated in my opinion. Not just the singles but the albums too. This song might have been a single but it does not get enough attention as it deserves. One of Stewart's many underrated tracks!
