This song for codependent men explores the thoughts experienced by every man I ever met, codependent or not, about what it feels like to give yourself away entirely for the love of a woman. 

That is on one level. For every man who has ever given himself away to a woman...who has long ago given herself over to alcohol, there is another level of abandonment altogether. That is the level every codependent man knows, and has to overcome before he can ever regain himself.

See the last wo words of this song for the answer.

I'm Losing me For You

                                                        Copyright 1992 by Ken P.

So you want me to show my feel-ings,

So you want a man-of-the times.

So you want me to tell you every thought,

That I have on my mind.

So you want me to love you ev-ry way

A man can pos-sibly do.

Well girl I don't know how much more

I can bend my-self for you!

I'm Los-ing me for you,

'An don't know what to do.

All the ways that you first loved in me,

Ev-ry day you try to change in me.

Can't you just some-how

Leave me be...I'm

Looooooooing me, For You.

(instrumental interlude)

So you told me to lose the Le-vis,

And make a change in my hair.

So I went out to see the barber man,

And bought fan-cy clothes to wear!

Then I told all my bud-dies

"soooo long..."

We've had a grin or two.

But some-where in the Bi-ble,

Says to thine own self be true

I'm los-ing Me For You,

Now I know what I must do.

Girl I don't have an-y choices now.

It's just more than my male pride al-lows.

We have ev-en lost the love some-how,

I'm looooo-sing YOU.............

..............................FOR ME!
