In a Mojo review of the album, “If I Lost You” was compared to “Protection” by Massive Attack, with a “spaced out, Motown girl group-like chorus”.
Shirley said this was the first time she’d have ever written a straightforward love song. Billboard wrote that its lyrics deal with her relationship wit...
[Verse 1]
There are times when I see you talking to other girls
I feel insecure
And every time I see you walking out
I wonder if you're coming back to me
You tell me I've got nothing to worry about
They've got nothing on me
You tell me I'm a good girl and you know it
Are you so strong, or is the weakness in me?
[Chorus]
I've never had someone like you
Who makes me feel the way you do
Sometimes I believe that I might die
If I lost you
If I lost you
If I lost you
[Verse 2]
Fears formed so long ago
So stupid to hold on to them all
Not every man is made the same
So unevolved to think that way
[Chorus]
But I've never had someone like you
Who makes me feel the way you do
Sometimes I believe that I might die
If I lost you
If I lost you
If I lost you
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
I've never had someone like you
Who makes me feel the way you do
Sometimes I believe that I might die
If I lost you
If I lost you
If I lost you
Yeah, if I lost you
