Lyrics
[Intro]
(Oh, oh, yeah)
Mmm, mm (Yeah, yeah)
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Mmm)
[Verse 1]
Late night, city lights, I'm wide awake
Your shadow on my wall, I can't escape
Memories, they linger, whisperin' your name (Your name)
Every inch of me, still feelin' your flame (Oh, oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
I try to move on, but my heart's in denial (Heart, heart)
Can't help but wonder if you're missin' my smile
I'm restless, baby, wishin' you were here (Here, here)
Only your touch can calm my fears
[Chorus]
I'm losing sleep over you, can't shake this feeling
Tossing and turning, the truth just keeps revealing (Yeah, yeah)
I need you (I need you), I want you (I want you)
All night long (All night long)
No matter what I do, I'm losing sleep over you
[Background vocals: "You, you, you..."]
[Verse 2]
Moonlight dancing on my empty bed
I hear your voice, like a song in my head (Oh, oh)
Every promise etched into my skin (My skin)
Baby, let me show you, let you back in (Back in, yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
I try to move on, but I'm lost in the past (Lost, lost)
All of these moments, they're fading too fast
I'm breathless, honey, achin' for your kiss (Ooh, yeah)
You're the only one I miss
[Background vocals: "Yeah, yeah, yeah..."]
[Chorus]
I'm losing sleep over you, can't shake this feeling (No, no)
Tossing and turning, the truth just keeps revealing (Keeps revealing, oh)
I need you (I need you), I want you (I want you)
All night long (All night long, babe)
No matter what I do, I'm losing sleep over you
[Background: "Sleep over you..."]
[Smooth ad-libs: "Oh, I need you..." "Come back to me..."]
[Bridge]
Maybe I'm foolish (Foolish), maybe I'm strong (So strong)
But my heart knows where it belongs (Belongs)
If you feel it too (Feel it too), don't keep me alone (Don't keep me alone)
Just pick up the phone, come on home
[Background harmonies swell, strings enter softly]
[Breakdown / Instrumental]
[Soft piano riff, gentle electric guitar, airy pads, light percussion]
[Ad-libs: "Yeah, yeah, yeah..." "Oh, oh, oh..."]
[Chorus/Outro]
I'm losing sleep over you (Oh, over you), can't shake this feeling
Tossing and turning, the truth just keeps revealing (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I need you (I need you), I want you (I want you)
All night long (All night long, babe)
No matter what I do (No matter what I do), I'm losing sleep over you (Over you)
[Background: "Ooh, ooh, ooh..."]
[Ad-libs: "Come back, come back to me, babe..." "I'm losing sleep, I'm losing sleep..."]
[Outro]
Ooh, oh, yeah (Yeah)
I'm losing sleep over you (Over you, babe)
