Am I Losing You
The Partridge Family Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something's in the wind
Something I can't touch
Just a feeling that I've got, oh no

Am I losing you
Am I losing you
Is there something that I can do
Am I losing you

Keep on telling me
No, please, not tonight
Something just ain't right, oh no

Am I losing you
Am I losing you
Is there something that I can do
Am I losing you

Those happy days we spent together
Can you forget them overnight
This was supposed to last forever
But forever's slipping out of sight

Used to get to you
'Til you'd shake inside
But you ain't satisfied, oh no

Am I losing you
Am I losing you




Is there something that I can do
Am I losing you

Overall Meaning

The Partridge Family's Am I Losing You expresses confusion and insecurity in a relationship. The opening lines indicate a change in the air that the singer can't quite pinpoint. He senses that something is amiss, perhaps there is a disconnect that he cannot grasp. This is highlighted in the chorus when he asks whether he is losing his partner. He wonders if there is anything he can do to remedy the situation and keep their love alive. Despite his efforts, she keeps putting him off, telling him that everything is fine for now.


The second verse underscores the painful agony of losing someone you care about. The memories of all the good times shared together come flooding in, making it hard to forget and move on. He feels that their love was supposed to last forever, but now that seems unlikely. The bridge highlights the emotional intensity of the situation, how he used to be able to shake her to the core, but now she is unsatisfied. The song ends with the singer still trying to figure out how he can stop losing her.

Something's in the wind
There is an unexplainable feeling or intuition that I have, something that I can sense but cannot touch.


Something I can't touch
This feeling is intangible and eludes me, making it impossible to grasp or comprehend.


Just a feeling that I've got, oh no
Though I wish I had a concrete understanding of this feeling, it remains nebulous and causes me concern.

No, please, not tonight
Unfortunately, you're not always willing or able to offer this reassurance when I want it, leaving me to stew in my uncertainty.


Something just ain't right, oh no
Even when you're not explicitly rejecting me, something about your behavior or the way you're treating me feels off, adding to my stress.


Those happy days we spent together
Once upon a time, we were in love and shared happy experiences.


Can you forget them overnight
It's hard for me to believe that you could just forget about those experiences and our feelings for each other so suddenly.


This was supposed to last forever
We entered into this relationship with the hope that we would be together permanently, that our love would endure.


But forever's slipping out of sight
Unfortunately, that hope is fading, and our relationship seems to be in jeopardy.


Used to get to you
I remember how passionately you responded to me in the early days of our relationship.


'Til you'd shake inside
You were once so invested in me that you would respond physically to my touch, appearing to shake with desire.


But you ain't satisfied, oh no
Nowadays, you don't respond to me the way you used to, and it's left me feeling inadequate and uncertain of our future together.
