Rolling Stones, The - Losing My Touch Lyrics






Ain't it funny how things happen
Just as we think we've got it all straight
Everything seems to be moving forward
But instead we just sit around and wait

Seems things are in a lockdown
Nervous looks all around
Everyone is speaking in whispers
No one wants to make a sound

I'm losing my touch, yeah
Losing my touch
Losing my touch baby, way too much
Baby, get me out of here
It should be clear

Keep an eye on on your front door, baby
I'll be slipping in round the back
I just need a little, a little cab fare
And then I'll let you hit the sack

'Cause I'm losing my touch
Losing my touch
Yes I'm losing my touch way too much
Baby, get me out of here
It should be clear, yes

I ain't going to keep it long, baby
But just long, long enough
I've got to pick up my passports
And I've got to get my stuff

'Cause I'm losing my touch
Just losing my touch, baby, baby, baby
I'm losing my touch way, way too much
Baby, get me out of here
Well it must be clear

Losing my touch
Yes I'm losing my touch
Yes I'm losing my touch way too much
Baby get me out of here

  15. S.... M....

    75....wow, just wow

  16. K.... ....

    I was once a 22 year old man....now almost in my 40s. The years have gone fast, friends have gone, left us behind, been forgotten, found different lives. Eventually this song rings true for all of us. We look at the youth these days and think, "Was I ever that young?"
    No. You were younger.

  17. N.... I....

    LOVELY VIDEO !!!

  18. P.... D....

    This it it. I believe in...Keith!

    what a particular voice.... what different kind of mate.. Just a legen111

  26. S.... Z....

    My father named me after Keith Richards and Mick Jagger If you can believe that. This song has a lot of meaning to me.

    S.... Z....

    What is your name

    S.... Z....

    Mick Richards? Or Keith Jagger?

    S.... Z....

    Waiting for an answer

  27. T.... F....

    Rolling Stones get little more soulful when Keith sings.

    T.... F....

    Not the best voice but why Keith's ballads almost always make med cry

    T.... F....

    agreed !  I also prefer KR on vocals..........he is more real and t comes from deep down.....jagger is ok..... but a pretentious veneer too

  28. D.... ....

    Keep an eye on yo front door baby, I'll be slipping in around the back

    D.... ....

    +David56583 Classic line,

  32. C.... H....

    10 people prefer justin bieber

  33. B.... M....

    Keith rocks, nice song and fab lyrics too.....

  34. 5.... ....

    9 people have lost their touch-never to get it back.

  35. D.... ....

    Damn, I know that!! I'm only 23 years old (i know, no one cares) but I have listened to the stones all my life, because of my dad! :)

    D.... ....

    David56583 well you’re 27 now, I’m just a wee bit ahead of you. I’m for the same reason too man, it’s what my Dad raised me on.

  36. C.... H....

    Nine people should get a life, Keith Richards great song and don't your touch yet bro, keep on keeping on

  37. c.... ....

    Keith Richards = Legend!!!

  38. P.... W....

    No shit. Beautiful.

  39. m.... ....

    Came here to listen to this song...So many comments about how good they are and that this IS music...the last comment is from a month ago!

  40. S.... C....

    Keith is putting something out there in this song. It speaks volumes on how things have changed amonst people in society since the sixties. He feels his responsibility as a rocker is fading. But, I hope that today, things are turning back around where people refuse to be conformists. It would make Keith, and myself, so happy.

    S.... C....

    Sal Chichon like that old clique saying goes, “Just a sign of the times man”. There’s a revamped sense of a recycled disco lifestyle to whatever your top-40 station is: drugs, booze and bad dance moves

  41. A.... ....

    This really is AMAZING!!!

  42. e.... ....

    why isn't this on spotify?

  43. M.... ....

    This is it, music is all around !!!

  44. j.... ....

    This is an amazing song. Heartfelt and soulful.

  45. R.... T....

    Eitt besta lag Richards

  46. G.... R....

    listen up kiddies, keith richards is rock and roll......so listen to the music, cuz it is all about the music.....

  47. S.... L....

    Keith will never louse his touch!

  48. M.... D....

    dude shut the fuck up and enjoy the music -.- you all annoy me with your petty arguements -.-

  49. D.... ....

    Baby get me out of here...

  50. j.... ....

    the problem there is that 78% percent of all union membership has disappeared when reagan systematically destroyed them. have you noticed how many american companies outsource their work since the 80's. that's because before reagan, any american company that took factories and jobs from americans was heavily fined. reagan not only took away the fines, he gave them tax incentives to outsource american jobs and it's been republican policy ever since.

  51. M.... ....

    It's a frightening world and no one seems to care. The only ones were the occupy movement, who've given up, and the students in Montreal who are still marching even thought they have been arrested and beaten up. I hope that the students everywhere fight against the increases and get the backing of the unions, who can certainly beef things up. The Teamsters would certainly add some muscle.

  52. j.... ....

    unfortunately, i think they know, but they just don't care. i remember when i was growing up, college was affordable for everyone. if you couldn't afford a private college you could go to one of the state colleges and get a great education, that's how i did it and so did millions of others. now it's getting less affordable and only the rich can afford college. more power to the 1%! ugh! just what they need! even MORE advantages!!

  53. M.... ....

    That's really sad. People don't stop and think that alot of those kids are part way through a two or three year course and now the tuition increase may ber too much for them to complete it.

  54. j.... ....

    i keep from going insane from haivng a sense of humor but somtimes my fear and total frustration get the best of me. if americans KNEW how much we get ripped off they'd demand better but it gets no press coverrage because all tv networks are bought and paid for by these huge coperatios and it's not in their economic best interests to expose america to the truth.the congress we have here is tryin to double tuition for colleges. let see how we react to that!!

  55. M.... ....

    Holy shit. Don't you just love the way things are set up today. You can't get private or government insurance? That's insane. How do you keep from going insane? I am thoroughly disgusted with the government and my health is good for a guy my age. It seems that everything is set up against us.(unless you have mega bucks, that is). In Montreal, Canada, the students are marching to protest a huge jump in costs of tuition. People are getting fed up eveywhere.

  56. j.... ....

    democracy on earth that provides no health care. for me, it could be a matter of life or death. i know most people are against obama care but if it's blocked, i will die, simple as that so i'm hopeful it goes through and i can get the 3 open heart procedures i need to survive. other than that i'm doing great!! see if you can find a singer for your songs, it's never to late. ok, you held up your end of the bargain and i will reluctantly listen to springsteen! i'm hoping you heard RN versions..

  57. j.... ....

    that was me that wrote all the tunes but not the plays. they are written buy playwright jeff stetson. his best known play is 'the meeting' about a hypothetical meeting between malcolm x and martin luther king. asi was saying in the last post i have 7 pre-existing conditions so i can't get private insurance and don't qualify for any govt. healthcare. because of this, i'm un-insured and there are NO hospitals in LA county that performs sugery on the uninsured. i'm sick of living in the only

  58. M.... ....

    Holy shit man. You write and sing your songs, you write plays-you have not talent at all do you? Lol. All I do is compose songs and play guitar. I can't sing at all and have never written any plays, though I once attempted a novel. My only thing is music, and mainly rock and roll and blues. Wouldn't want to be in a world without music.

  59. j.... ....

    cool! let me know when you hear them and then i'll brace myself for an hour of springsteen!

  60. M.... ....

    LMFAO. That was hilarious, but it's a deal.

  61. j.... ....

    ok mr alstan5, by the way, what's your 1st name? for some reason i think it's phil but as long as we keep writing, i'd like to know what name you go by. also, you can write me here OR my facebook page. i drive a hard bargain so here's the deal; go to my reverb nation page and listen to 'back at war in the land of the free,' deliver me from me,' and 'only in death will you ever be free' [a suicidal ex girlfriend] i know that's alot to ask for, but so is listening to an hour of springsteen!

  62. M.... ....

    Yeah. it's well worth it.

  63. j.... ....

    if i see it, i'll check it out.

  64. M.... ....

    Yeah, it's worth it. I always felt that Bruce was sort of a chick's singer and never really paid attention to him. Then I heard a bit of "Death To My Hometown" and liked it immediately. I bought the album and was surprised to hear the variety of music on it. It has a bit of everything and rally changed my view of him. I didn't dislike him before, I just didn't pay attention to him.

  65. j.... ....

    i might have to check this one out. if one non-springsteen fan became a fan, maybe THIS non-springsteeen fan can become a fan.

  66. M.... ....

    This album just rocks form start to finish and he makes the 1% uncomfortable as he attacks their motives in re-locating industry to foreign lands.

  67. j.... ....

    i was never a springsteen fan either. there was however on neil young's album freedom a devastatingly powerful song called wrecking ball.

  68. M.... ....

    Lol. Don't know, but I just bought "Wrecking Ball" by Bruce Springsteen and Wow, it rocks man. I was never a big Bruce fan, but this is the best album he's ever done. There are at least 7 great rock songs on it and one good country flavoured one.

  69. j.... ....

    i like the icing sugar idea. you're right, it would taste better than ajax or comet. how did we go from 'can't you hear me knocking' to 'get down, boogey oogey oogey' in 3 years?!

  70. M.... ....

    How about icing sugar? In a bag it looksa similiar and at least tastes good. The heels with the fish in them was proof of how pathetic that era really was.

  71. j.... ....

    no, seriously, we'll get one of those giant disco balls, spin it in the miidle of your house and you can buy those giant heeled shoes with the gold fish in them! oh! and don't forget the coke spoons that we can each wear around our neck! now since none of us actually snort coke, we can still make it look authentic by dousing the coke spoons an a box of comet or ajax! we'll even let you make the choice; comet? ajax? we'll go along with whichever one you choose!

  72. M.... ....

    LMFAO! Good one. Yeah that would be a treat to watch Saturday Night Fever, a couple of old rockers like us.

  73. j.... ....

    that explains disco better than anything i've come up with. it was still born. absolutely lifeless. after all, plastic is an inanimate object and nothing's more plastic than disco! hey! i gotta great idea! me and my wife will catch a plane to your place, will go by blockboster video rent saturday night fever and all watch it together!

  74. M.... ....

    Rock and roll was known as music with a heart beat. Disco was still born. The 80's were a small revival of rock and roll with some good bands and music. Now the brain dead record mogels run music and the artists.

  75. j.... ....

    i'm not kidding about this either. they would put down this programmed synthesizer drum beat and then literally have a drummer just come in lay down the bass drum part only.whump! whump! whump! i'm not kidding about this! i did enough session work in the late 70's and this was standard procedure. but as bad as disco was, it's STILL not as bad as the garbage coming out now. justin beiber? jonas bros? hillary duff? britany spears? lady gaga? i'd put bamboo under my fingernails 1st! less torture!

  76. j.... ....

    actually, a lot of times they DIDN'T have a drummer. they just used a drum machine, then they would dub in the bass drum! that stuff was horid!! i don't care HOW old you are, there's good music and bad music. disco? definately bad!!

  77. M.... ....

    It was that stupid beat that I hated. No real drumming there, just a steady bump, bump bump. It all (disco) seemed so plastic. Sigh, I guess I sound like a old fogey who can't get out of the 60's. I guess we go with what we know.

  78. j.... ....

    don't forget al green,joni mitchell,in the eary 70's hit her stride as well. i looked at the 70's, thru '74 was a continuation of what was going on in the 60's the stones had yayas, sticky fingers and exile right in a row, traffic was still going strong, clapton made the best album of his life with layla. i view what we think of as the 70's a mercifully brief period 75-79. luckily, disco had a short run. but god, even disco, bad as it was they played their own instruments and didn't lip-sync!!

  79. M.... ....

    Damn, forgot asbout Santana, Steely Dan and the Doobie Bros and Stevie. But from there on it was down hill. Thanks for the info on Lisa Fischer and the Stones project and I'll give it a listen to.

  80. j.... ....

    i gotta say i liked the early 70's with steely dan, yes, the allman bros. the doobie bros. santana and stevie wonder at his absolute peak. then came "shake shake shake, shake shake shake, shake your booty, shake your booty" and it was all down hill from there! hey, i just heard this amazing version of "come together" featuring lisa fischer and the stones project. check it out!!

  81. M.... ....

    Yeah, when I was in my teens, the music was constantly changing at an amazing rate. There was rock and roll, blues and psychedelic music. Then the different sounds from distortion amp effects so that every new group seemed to have their own sound. The 70's were music at it's worse-I just didn't get disco. In the 80's for awhile there was a rock revival with new bands, but it's all gone now.

  82. j.... ....

    you see? what i just wrote on the post confirms this. kids HATE the garbage that's out now! they're starving for good music! i can't tell you how many times i've had my students tell me they wish they had grown up in my generation so they could have heard and discovered all this wonderful music when it was happening. isntrumental prowess doesn't matter anymore. almost all the sounds generated are from pre-programmed synthesizers. UGH!! it's so disheartening!!

  83. j.... ....

    no, it's not because your getting old, i teach guitar, bass and mandolin for a living and all the kids i teach now can't stand this garbage either! they usually go through their parents' collection and find this incredible music they didn't know existed! todays' music seems plastic because it IS plastic. song's that are written now aren't written from the heart, theyr'e written from the pocket book.it's all calculated from demographics. no inspiration and all calculation!

  84. M.... ....

    You got that right. Doesn't anyone who can play a musical instrument get a shot at a career anymore? I have a 11 year old granddaughter, whom I am teaching guitar too, and without any influance from me is a huge rock and roll fan. She decided on guitar for herself too.

  85. M.... ....

    Yea, it's really sad. I guess because I'm getting old, but today's music seems so plastic-no real bands playing.

  86. j.... ....

    geez! how could i forget marshall chess at chess records? i actually heard the current owner of sony/columbia explain that the reason music has been dumbed down is because their demographics show that the biggest consumers of today's music is 12 and 13 year olds. apparently, it never dawned on him that the reason 12 and 13 year olds are the biggest consumers is because nobody over the age of 13 wants this mindless drivel that passes for music these days rammed down their throats!

  87. j.... ....

    unfortunately, i think it is dying.the record companies themselves used to be owned and run by people who loved music. ahmet ertigon at atlantic, john hammond at columbia, richard lyons at blue note, berry gordy at motown, sam phillips at sun, johnny otis at riverside. theyv'e all been bought out by multi national corperations who don't see music as art but as just another business expense. music doesn't matter anymore, only the bottom line line does.it sickens me!

  88. M.... ....

    Unless something somehow changes, that music will die with the baby boomers.

  89. j.... ....

    yes it was! and now we continue to have the great music of justin beiber, the jonas bros. and lady gaga!!

  90. M.... ....

    Lol, that's for sure. Thank goodness that the Stones, Clapton and others were able to show the wonderful music that was performed by the Wolf, Muddy Waters and the many other wondrful bluesmen.

  91. j.... ....

    the wolf would have kicled his usher ass!!

  92. M.... ....

    Ok, will do. Usher as Howlin Wolf? C'mon get real. They didn't look to hard to find someone for Wolf. That's almost funny. Wonder what the Wolf woulda thought about that?

  93. j.... ....

    see if you can watch "deliver me from me" on the youtube or reverb nation. the only reason i sing was by default, every singer i hired was either a diva or a flake! i finally gave up and said, "i'll do it." unfortunately, i don't remember the name of the movie. it was about chess records. the movie was pretty good but beyonce as etta james and usher as howlin wolf?! you gotta be kiddin me! you could probably look up "beyonce/filmography on imdb and find it.

  94. M.... ....

    Didn't mean that to sound condecending. You're obviously very talented.

  95. M.... ....

    No, didn't see that movie. What was the name of it, because I'd like to watch it? You're rith though. Beyonce as Etta, no way. Etta was an unbelievable talent-just Got Mine loved her singing. Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for the Essential Etta James.
    Watched your video of I Got Mine. Very good-I envy your singing as I don't and can't sing.

  96. j.... ....

    did you see that movie about chess records recently. beyonce was playing and singing etta james. pitiful!! or as bobby bland would say, "i pity the fool!" beyonce couldn't carry etta's socks! if you can ever find "the essential etta james" a 2cd set on chess records, buy it, it will blow your mind!!!

  97. M.... ....

    Yeah and their contributions to music are legendary. Really loved Etta's singing. Wow, what an astounding mass of talent in all of them. Without their music, the world would not worth being in.

  98. j.... ....

    damn! you beat to muddy and wolf but don't forget little willie john, little milton, etta james, ray charles, james brown,carl perkins, johhny cash, otis rush, big maybelle,and of course, the fabulous king brothers; albert, freddie and b.b.!!!

  99. M.... ....

    Don't mean to leave anyone out. Also Frankie Lymon, Bill Hailey, and the many blues players such as Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon to name but a few. To our generation, music's royalty.
