To steal the title from another Motown song, ‘ain’t nothing like the real thing.’
This is one Temptations’ hit that was never equaled no matter who covered it — Rare Earth, Rod Stewart with his group Faces, or even Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5.
Many Temps fans consider “Losing You” to be one of their greatest hits when David Ruffin was the lead singer, but for some reason, it doesn’t get as much attention as “My Girl” or “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg.”
oooh oooh oooh
Your love is fading,
I can feel your love fading
Girl, it’s fading away from me
‘Cause your touch, your touch has grown cold
As if someone else controls your very soul
I’ve fooled myself long as I can
I can feel the presence of another man
It’s there when you speak my name
It’s just not the same
Ooh baby,I’m losing you
It’s in the air, it’s everywhere.
Ooh baby I’m losing you
When I look into your eyes
A reflection of a face I see
I’m hurtin’,downhearted and worried girl,
Cause that face doesn’t belong to me
It’s all over your face
Someone’s taking my place
Ooh baby I’m losing you
You try hard to hide
The emptiness inside,
Ooh I can tell I’m losing you.
I don’t want to lose you
Ooh,I can tell when we kiss
From the tenderness I miss
Ooh,little girl I’m losing you
Girl I can feel it in my bones
Any day you’ll be gone
Ooh baby,I’m losing you
