Your love is fading, I can feel your love fading, Girl it's fading away from me. Cause your touch, your touch has grown cold, As if someone else controls your very soul. I've fooled myself long as I can In fear of the presence of another man. It's there when you speak my name, It's just not the same, Oh baby, I'm losing you. It's in the air, It's everywhere, Oh baby, I'm losing you. When I look into your eyes, A reflection of a face I see. I'm hurtin', downhearted and worried girl, Cause that face doesn't belong to me. It's all over your face, Someone's taken my place, Ooh baby, I'm losing you. You try hard to hide The emptiness inside, Oh I can tell I'm losing you. I don't want to lose you. Oh, I can tell when we kiss From the tenderness Ooh little girl, I'm losing you. Girl I can feel it in my bones Any day you'll be gone, Oh baby, I'm losing you. Oh my dear, What happened to the love we shared? Oh baby, I'm losing you. I know it's true, There's someone new, Ooh baby, I'm losing you.
