Your love is fading
I can feel it fading
Girl, it’s fading away from me.
Cuz your touch, your touch has grown cold
As if someone else controls your very soul.
I’ve fooled myself long as I can
And I can feel the presence
Of another man.
Girl, when you speak my name
It’s just not the same.
Oh, little girl, 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 hurt, down-hearted and worried, girl
Cuz that face doesn’t belong to me.
It' all over your face
Someone’s taking my place
Oh, little girl, I’m losing you.
It’s hard to hide
The emptiness inside
Oh, little girl, I’m losing you.
I can tell when we kiss
From the tenderness I miss
Oh, baby, I’m losing you.
I can feel it in my bones
Any day you’ll be gone
Ooh, baby, I’m losing you.
Oh, baby, what happened to the love we shared
Ooh, baby, I’m losing you.
I don’t wanna lose you, girl…
Wow! Two covers of this, by Rare Earth and Rod Stewart, hit the charts big. This song and arrangement are a great example of how Motown was on the leading edge of creativity!!!
