Phyllis Hyman - I Don't Want To Lose You Lyrics






I don't want to lose you
I love you as you are
I don't want to lose you
I couldn't love you more
Tell me love will remain
Though we may change

Who do you think you are?
Who do you want to be?
You're the only one that really knows
Maybe you'll be surprised
After your search is through
Then you'll find you'll find you've just been chasing you
Believe me I understand
The visions of your mind
But I'm so afraid that the man you find may not need a girl like me

I don't want to lose you
I love you as you are
I don't wanna lose you
I couldn't love you more
Tell me love will remain
Though we may change

I really think that you
Have little faith in me
You're the only one I'll ever need
If you really understood
How much you mean to me
All your doubts would fade and disappear
Maybe you'll never find
The secrets of your mind
But you gotta try
You gotta realize
And I'll help you all I can

I don't want to lose you
I love you as you are
I don't want to lose you
I couldn't love you more
Tell me love will remain
Though we may change

Maybe you'll never find
The secrets of your mind
But you gotta try
Gotta realize
And I'll help ya all I can

I don't want to lose you
I love you as you are
I don't want to lose you
I couldn't love you more
Tell me that love will remain
Though we may change
I don't want to lose you
I love you as you are
I don't want to lose you
Couldn't love you more
(I...)
Love you as you are
I don't want to lose you
(No no, oh)
I don't want to lose you
I love you as you are

    I had never heard of her until I went into a stereo shop and the salesman put this song on and I lost interest in the equipment and was focused on who the vocalist was. I went out and bought that album and had followed her ever since. What a gift.
    I wish she had not made the ultimate choice to end her life, but she did not seek me out to ask me what should she do. I would have told her to give all that pain to Jesus and leave it with him.

  8. K.... m....

    The Voice? SHE WAS THE VOICE!

    I have not heard Phyllis Hyman in a long time. I can still remember that day she passed. It sadden me to know that this beautiful, fine,sultry, exquisite, sexy and talented woman didn't realize she was perfect, she just didn't realize it.

  33. M.... O....

    Summer 03

  34. T.... H....

    My favorite singer of ALL TIME! So statuesque and beautiful. To think that she couldn't sustain a relationship.... Men are crazy. I concur... SIP Queen Phyllis. Truly one of a kind 😇💙

  35. T.... L....

    Phyllis was such a gifted singer that we loss too soon!

  36. S.... K....

    What a voice. What a loss.

  37. C.... S....

    These tragic stories that seem to effect our most talented and beloved artist can certainly put one in a dark place for the list goes on and on.and the thing that grabs us is it seems as if they have it all.We must try to remember that a talent is just that, just one dimension of a person. We seem to always feel that if one can get in front of thousands of people and hold them in the palm of their hand for a time they have it all, yet that is such a small part of their being as they always seem to need so much more, and we are always shocked to learn how incomplete and unhappy our entertainers are. Man, to look at her one would think all was so perfect, yet in hindsight her eyes do seem to be saying something as does something in her voice in the way she interprets ballads. Sleep in peace beautiful angel princess as the princes of song see that your required rest is sound and perfect.

  38. O.... C....

    I don't wanna loose you!

  39. R.... W....

    She is one beautiful woman and her voice wow out of this world.

    R.... W....

    Roger Winters agreed such a shame people like madonna didnt have half her talent and they was more popular then she was!!!

    R.... W....

    @Angel Johnson yep, there are a lot of them around.

    R.... W....

    Roger Winters yes agreed

  40. R.... B....

    I dedicate this song to my ex but unfortunately it is over. ❤

  41. T.... A....

    This song has me in my feelings. On repeat. 2018!😭

  42. Q.... B....

    Love her and miss her ❤😢

  43. J.... M....

    Mental illness takes you to places where you have no control looking for love in the wrong places..out side of your self some of us learn the valuable lesson of loving ourselfs before it to late.. and unfortunately some of spiral out of control and suicide seems the only way out of the pain and torment..u give up..your tried of the stuggle..

  44. Y.... H....

    Simply beautiful

  45. T.... W....

    She was so fine. Be at peace, Goddess.

    T.... W....

    Aww thats very sweet to say

  68. O.... P....

    Many times a man and a woman is so afraid of losing each other that they do the exact ignorant things that drive their mate away from them. I just realized through great trials and tribulations that when God blesses someone with the gift of music, He places in your hands the solution to their relationship problems. The relationship is musical. The relationship is a melody and a harmony. When I think of music, I think about the Black Queen of Egypt, Cleopatra who was given an entire kingdom out of love for her. She was a musical master of the seven fragrances. Each fragrance represented one of the seven musical keys A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Cleopatra would sprinkle roses on the floor leading into her bed chambers all the up to her bed, then cover the entire bed with them. There are seven pulse points on the female body where fragrances are placed. Mastering the seven fragrances, which not only corresponds to the seven musical keys, but directly corresponds to the seven body pulse points and the seven colors of the rainbow. A woman and man must wisely select their wardrobe colors to have a powerful impact on the mind of their mates. Music theory teaches that when a musician uses the seven keys of music with its associated accidentals of flats and sharps an infinite amount of music compositions can be created. So, a mastery of the seven fragrances with its accidentals of flats and sharps by lessening or increasing proportional amounts will give the female unlimited emotional power over the husband. The entire male and female body is a musical instrument that is created in the seven musical keys of the Psalms of David's Lyre. There are 365 acupressure points on the human body. Forty of these points are on the tongue, and 100 points are on the ears. Each of these acupressure points reflexes with or resonates with a certain body organ or system. The acupressure points are each in a certain musical key. Melodies are played one key at a time. Caress a body acupressure point one at a time, and you are playing a melody. Harmonies or Chords  are played in Western Music, by playing three music keys at the same time. Caress a body acupressure point three at a time, and you are playing a chord Harmony. The reproductive system of the wife is shaped like the Lyre of David the Psalmist, and is programmed in the seven musical keys that are healing and spiritually empowering keys. The waist of the husband and wife is programmed in the key of Middle C. The upper part of the body are the high pitched keys, and the lower part of the body is the lower pitched keys. The original Ancient Solfeggio keys on David's Lyre are as follows:
                                                                                                      The Ancient Solfeggio Scale


    These Solfeggio frequencies make up the sacred Solfeggio scale:

    CONCERT A - 432 Hz (This original creation frequency is the result of my own extensive research)
    Retune yourself to this original creation frequency key.
    UT – 396 Hz
    Intent: turning grief into joy, liberating guilt & fear
    This frequency liberates the energy and has beneficial effects on feelings of guilt. It cleanses the feeling of guilt, which often represents one of the basic obstacles to realization, enabling achievement of goals in the most direct way. The ‘Ut’ tone releases you from the feeling of guilt and fear by bringing down the defense mechanisms. 396 Hz frequency searches out hidden blockages, subconscious negative beliefs, and ideas that have led to your present situations.
    RE – 417 Hz
    Intent: undoing situations and facilitating change
    The next main tone from the Solfeggio scale produces energy to bring about change. This frequency cleanses traumatic experiences and clears destructive influences of past events. When speaking of cellular processes, tone ‘Re’ encourages the cell and its functions in an optimal way. 417 Hz frequency puts you in touch with an inexhaustible source of energy that allows you to change your life.
    MI – 528 Hz
    Intent: transformation and miracles (DNA repair)
    Tone ‘Mi’ is used to return human DNA to its original, perfect state. This frequency brings transformation and miracles into your life. The process of DNA reparation is followed by beneficial effects – increased amount of life energy, clarity of mind, awareness, awakened or activated creativity, ecstatic states like deep inner peace, dance and celebration. Tone ‘Mi’ activates your imagination, intention and intuition to operate for your highest and best purpose.
    FA – 639 Hz
    Intent: re-connecting and balancing, relationships
    Another frequency from the sacred Solfeggio scale. It enables creation of harmonious community and harmonious interpersonal relationships. Tone ‘Fa’ can be used for dealing with relationships problems – those in family, between partners, friends or social problems. When talking about cellular processes, 639 Hz frequency can be used to encourage the cell to communicate with its environment. This ancient Solfeggio frequency enhances communication, understanding, tolerance and love.
    SOL – 741 Hz
    Intent: solving problems, expressions/solutions
    It cleans the cell (“Solve polluti“) from the toxins. Frequent use of 741 Hz leads to a healthier, simpler life, and also to changes in diet towards foods which are not poisoned by various kinds of toxins. Tone ‘Sol’ cleans the cell from different kinds of electromagnetic radiations. Another application of this sound frequency is solving problems of any nature. The fifth frequency of the Solfeggio scale will also lead you into the power of self-expression, which results in a pure and stable life.
    LA – 852 Hz
    Intent: awakening intuition, returning to spiritual order
    Tone ‘La’ is linked to your ability to see through the illusions of your life, such as hidden agendas of people, places and things. This frequency can be used as means for opening a person up for communication with the all-embracing Spirit. It raises awareness and lets you return to spiritual order. Regarding cellular processes, 852 Hz enables the cell to transform itself into a system of higher level.
    Additional research conducted by Dr. Leonard Horowitz claims to have revealed three more Solfeggio frequencies:
    SI – 963 Hz
    This tone awakens any system to its original, perfect state. It is connected with the Light and all-embracing Spirit, and enables direct experience, the return to Oneness. This frequency re-connects you with the Spirit, or the non-vibrational energies of the spiritual world. It will enable you to experience Oneness – our true nature.
    174 Hz
    The lowest of the tones appears to be a natural anaesthetic. It tends to reduce pain physically and energetically. 174 Hz frequency gives your organs a sense of security, safety and love, encouraging them to do their best.
    285 Hz
    This frequency helps return tissue into its original form. 285 Hz influences energy fields, sending them a message to restructure damaged organs. It also leaves your body rejuvenated and energized.
    Solfeggio scale and the additional tones
    As you already know, the original Solfeggio scale has 6 tones. The tones are: 396, 417, 528, 639, 741 & 852. Following the pattern established by these original tones, additional frequencies can be calculated. There are three frequencies which can be calculated below the 396 before breaking the pattern (63, 174, 285) and there are infinite frequencies that can be calculated above the 852. See below:
    63
    174 – reduce pain
    285 – influence energy fields
    396 – turn grief into joy
    417 – facilitate change
    528 – transformation & miracles
    639 – reconnecting, relationships
    741 – expressions/solutions
    852 – return to spiritual order
    963 – awaken perfect state
    1074
    1185
    1296
    1317
    etc.
    All these additional frequencies reduce to a 3, 6, or 9, but does it mean that we should use them just like the main tones from the Solfeggio scale? To be honest, I would recommend focusing on the 9 Solfeggio tones. The 6 main and the 3 additional tones (174, 285, 936) hold an infinite array of healing properties. They have been well researched and many people experience their benefits every day. See the testimonials.
    I know that some artists utilize the additional frequencies in their work and while there is nothing wrong with doing this, it is my experience that they don’t strengthen the power of the main tones. The same is about the so-called ‘Master frequency’ (1122Hz). Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel I would recommend applying the simplicity, beauty and harmony of the original Solfeggio scale. CONT'D: Read the CONT"D reply below for additional knowledge.

    O.... P....

    CONT'D:  There are seven personality keys. The seven personality keys are: 1. Athletic Type  2. Charismatic, Charming Type  3. Marriage, Relationship Type  4. Mothering, Fathering Type  5. Intuitive Type  6. Intellectual, Brainy Type  7. Spiritual Type. These are your seven personality keys, and just like in Music theory, it teaches that when a musician uses the seven keys of music with its associated accidentals of flats and sharps an infinite amount of music compositions can be created. So, a mastery of the seven personality keys with its accidentals of flats and sharps by lessening or increasing proportional amounts will give the female unlimited  power over the husband, and vice versa. I think that's enough! If this info helps one person not to contemplate suicide after a breakup, I have done something good. May God bless you!

    This was a fine black woman.I hate mental illness with a passion.Phyllis thought that no man would love her.I love you Phyllis baby.I love you as you are.

    L.... J....

    @LOL! LOL! she committed suicide

    L.... J....

    Phyllis was a Cancer. Forever seeker of love. Moon child. Some people are more connected to wanted to give & receive love. Some may say it's mental illness but some people are just born that way the same way like some people like 45 are born soulless. Watch the interview she had with Donnie Simpson where she speaks on men being intimidated. No one wants to be lonely. The drugs were a result of her loneliness. Yes she did commit suicide ..no it is not right but she got just tired of searching & couldn't endure the pain of being alone anymore. Yes..the public adorned her but she wanted intimacy. I could go on & on ..RIP Sweet Phyllis. I only saw her perform once I thought she'd always be here. Anyone out there who is lonely or misunderstood.Take 1 day at a time. Make that 1 day as positive as you can even if it is the smallest thing. Seek help ...we all have to love ourselves. Self love. Self care.❤
