Lose You Lyrics
You say you're packing your bags
This isn't what I thought forever would be
You're walking out so casually
How could you give up on us like that?
You say you're feeling the pressure
And you'd be better with me out of your life
But, baby, that ain't happening tonight
Want you to know that I'm willing to make this right
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd be crazy if I gave you up
When you give me that unfiltered love
It is all I need, I can hardly breathe
You are what I want
[Chorus]
Baby, I'm not ready to lose you yet
Yeah, I've tried, but you know I can't forget
I'm begging you
I'm not ready to lose you
Baby, I'm not ready to lose you yet
Oh, why can't you see I got nothing lеft?
I'm begging you
I'm not ready to lose you, no
Yеah, you know I would do anything
Baby, to feel you back here in my arms
You bring that spiritual calm
When I'm with you, it's like nothing can go wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd be crazy if I gave you up
When you give me that unfiltered love
It is all I need, I can hardly breathe
You are what I want
[Chorus]
Baby, I'm not ready to lose you yet
Yeah, I've tried, but you know I can't forget
I'm begging you
I'm not ready to lose you
Baby, I'm not ready to lose you yet
Oh, why can't you see I got nothing left?
I'm begging you (No, I'm not)
I'm not ready to lose you
[Outro]
I'm not ready to lose you, oh
(I'm not yet)
(No, I'm not)
Oh, I'm not ready to lose you
Oh, oh, oh
(I'm not yet)
(No, I'm not)
I'm not ready to lose you
I'm not ready to lose
About
This song from Sam Smith’s Gloria album has a fast, regular and compulsive beat. Although the lyric is sad — the longing to cling to a failing relationship — this track is clearly for dancing to. A must for discos.
The track is also notable for show-casing Sam’s remarkable voice — its flexibility, distinctive timbre, effortless movement from high to low notes and changes in tempo; most of all emotional expression.
Paradoxically, the song leaves the listener in a positive mood, despite the story. Sam said before the release of the album that he intended to “lean in to joy”, to move away from sad ballads. That seems to be the case here.

As a queer community, we love our sad dance songs. With this album, you could dedicate every song to a pop diva of mine. “Love Me More” would be Whitney, “No God” would be Brandy and ‘Lose You’ would be Robyn or George Michael. I wrote this song with some of the most amazing pop writers and it felt like a mastering of a beautifully formed pop song. The production wasn’t taking me to Berlin, though, and I needed it to take me to a German gay club. The little things we did towards the end of this song really took it there—it gives me this really Euro, unashamed, gay, chic feel. It’s drama, drama, drama.
