About Losin' Myself

"Losin' Myself" is the first single from the album Body, Mind, Soul by American singer-songwriter-actress Debbie Gibson, released in January 1993. The song was written by Gibson, and co-written and co-produced with Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers. "Little" Louie Vega and Kenny "Dope" Gonzales for Masters At Work Productions remixed the song for the single and maxi single releases. Stalling at #46 on the Billboard Hot Maxi Singles, #49 on the Hot Contemporary, and #86 on the Hot 100 and therefore regarded as a flop, this song marks Gibson's last appearance on the Hot 100 to date. Gibson recently commented on her thoughts on "Losin' Myself" in a Q&A session from her Twitter followers. Gibson stated, "... I love the song, but it was at the wrong time."

Lost all reality, you've really got a hold
Turned myself over to you body, mind, and soul
It might seem crazy and though I'm in over my head
Got no direction and my world is spinnin' 'round
Feel like I'm risin' up and never comin' down
A million people talk but I don't hear a word they say

[Chorus]
Don't know what to do / nothin' I can do
I'm losin' myself over you
(And it hurts me so right)
Can't deny it's true
You know I couldn't fight it baby even if I wanted to
I'm losin' myself.... over you

Love like the ocean feel it rushin' over me
You are the treasure that I've searched for desperately
The tide it races in, its pullin' me out to the sea
Willingly
You're my celebration boy, the reason I exist
I feel a hundred lifetimes deep within your kiss
Don't say a word just hold me close
I hear your heart talkin' to me...
Secretly

[Chorus]

And when the darkness came
You washed away the pain
You can do anything when it comes to me
I won't hold back
I want to know no shame
Take me away in the sky...
