“I Lose Control” is a song Mariah wrote with Narada Michael Walden during her debut album recording sessions. The song didn't make the final cut and was later recorded by Penny Ford and included on her 1993 self-titled album.
Burning fascination streaking over me
I lose all concentration
You're the only thing that I can see
Breathing intoxication
And borderline insanity
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
Is this the way love's supposed to be
Hey hey
I lose control when you're loving me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Beyond infatuation, no sense of reality
I don't have an explanation for this vulnerability
Deep preoccupation and 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
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Is this the way love's supposed to be
Hey hey
I lose control when you're loving me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Is this the way love's supposed to be
Hey hey
I'm taking leave of my senses
I feel completely defenseless
Sometimes you're leaving me breathless
And I can't explain the way you got me feeling inside
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Is this the way love's supposed to be
Hey hey
I lose control when you're loving me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Is this the way love's supposed to be
Hey hey
I lose control when you're loving me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Is this the way love's supposed to be
Hey hey
I lose control when you're loving me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
