Lyrics

I Lose Control

Burning fascination streaking over me
I lose all concentration
You're the only thing that I can see
Breathing intoxication
Boy, I got this energy
It's crazy, oh

My mind won't rest, I get no sleep
My soul's possessed, I'm in so deep
You shake me up, I can't explain it

I lose control when you're loving me
Is this the way love's supposed to be?

Beyond infatuation, no sense of reality
I don't have an explanation for this vulnerability
Deep preoccupation, maddening intensity
It's crazy, oh

My mind won't rest, I get no sleep
My soul's possessed, I'm in so deep
You shake me up, I can't explain it

I lose control when you're loving me
Is this the way love's supposed to be?
I lose control when you're loving me
Is this the way love's supposed to be?

I'm taking lead of my senses
I feel completely defenseless
Somehow you're leaving me breathless
And I can't explain the way I feel, I'm in love

I lose control when you're loving me
Is this the way love's supposed to be?
I lose control when you're loving me
Is this the way love's supposed to be?
I lose control when you're loving me
Is this the way love's supposed to be?
