Having Illusions Lyrics by Johnny Gill

Let’s Get the Mood Right

1996

[Verse 1]
You were the only one, that I ever loved
And you promised you wouldn't break my heart
Oh, oh please, tell me how could you do this to me
Well, 'cause I've been having dreams of losing you
And somehow I don't know that dream came true
And I don't know if I could live alone
Oh, I can't believe that you still love me, baby
It's even possible that you would even care
But I know I can't forget that you let me down
And I can't believe you broke my heart
[Chorus]
I'm having illusions, I'm losing my mind
I can't sleep at night 'cause I can't have my baby tonight
Yeah baby, I'm losing my mind
I need you in my life
[Verse 2]
So tell me how's it feel to know you've done some wrong
To someone who was right for you
Oh, how could it be that you just don't love me no more, yeah
Well, you've been telling everybody I, that I wasn't your type of guy
Well, you know damn well that you were down
Oh, is it sick to think that you even love me?
I've even had second thoughts that you even care
But I know I can't forget that you let me down
And I can't believe that you broke my heart
[Chorus]
I'm having illusions, I'm losing my mind
(I'm losing my mind)
I can't sleep at night cause I can't have my baby tonight
(I can't help myself but I know that I can't live without you, baby)
Yeah, baby I'm losing my mind, I need you in my life
I'm having illusions, I'm losing my mind
I can't figure out why my baby is out of my life (Oh no no no)
Yeah baby I'm losing my mind (I'm losing my mind)
I need you in my life
[Bridge]
Tell me, tell me, why me?
Give me a reason why you want to leave
After all that we've been through
What did I ever do to lose you?
Well, I'll just sit right here and cry
Because I know that I'd rather die
Than face a day without you, baby
I'm on my knees, I'm begging
God knows I need you, I need you, I need you, oh
[Chorus]
I'm having illusions, I'm losing my mind
(I'm losing my mind)
I can't sleep at night 'cause I can't have my baby tonight
(Baby tonight, yeah)
Yeah baby, I'm losing my mind
I need you in my life
I'm having illusions, I'm losing my mind
I can't figure out why my baby is out of my life
Yeah, I'm losing my mind
I need you in my life
[Outro]
I'm having illusions, ooh
I can't sleep at night
Oh, said I need you baby, said I need you, baby
Said I want you, baby, I can't live without you
Yeah, yeah, mmm, oh oh
