[Verse 1]
Is this a dream or could it be that I'm just imagining
Is there some chance
For our romance to become reality

Did I hear you say there was a chance for our love
A chance for us to play the game
Oh, to play the game

All night long I tried to remember
Was it something that you said
Did you say that to me, baby

[Verse 2]
Just one touch from you (One touch from you)
Little girl, I come unglued
I lose all trace of time
And everything seems to slip my mind

Got to find the right solution (The right solution)
Got to find a way to end all this confusion
In mind, oh, in my mind

This is a brand new feeling, a strange sensation
I just seem to lose my head
Over you, baby

[Chorus]
Amnesia
I can't remember what you said
What made me go and lose my head
Please understand the things I did

Oh, amnesia
The way you made sweet love to me
Oh, the price you pay for ecstasy
Girl, don't you know what you're doing to me

[Verse 3]
They say love is blind
They say that love can make you lose your mind (Lose your mind)
No matter what they say, sweet darling
I know our love will shine

All night long, I'll lay beside you
Holding you closer, holding you tighter
Loving you, touchin' and squeezin' you, baby

This is a brand new feeling, a strange sensation
Your kiss makes me lose my head
Oh, I lost it for you, baby

[Chorus]
Amnesia
I can't remember what you said
What made me go and lose my head
Please understand the things I did

Oh, amnesia
The way you make sweet love to me
Oh, the price you pay for ecstasy
Don't you know what you're doing to me

[Guitar Solo + Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Amnesia
I can't remember what you said
What made me go and lose my head
Please understand the things I did

Oh, amnesia
The way you make sweet love to me
Oh, the price you pay for ecstasy
Girl, don't you know what you're doing to me

Oh, amnesia...

Shalamar is an American R&B and soul music vocal group, active in the mid-1970s and throughout the 1980s. Their original lineup consisted of Jeffrey Daniel, Jody Watley, and Gary Mumford. The group went through various lineup changes throughout the years, with Mumford replaced by Gerald Brown, and again by Howard Hewett. The lineup of Daniel, Hewett, and Watley was the most successful, selling two Platinum albums (Three For Love, Friends) and one Gold album (Big Fun).

Despite more lineup changes in the ‘80s, the group still churned out hits such as “Dancing in the Sheets” and “Don’t Get Stopped in Beverly Hills”, which won them a Grammy.

Daniel, Hewett, and Watley eventually reunited several times in the ‘90s and as recently as 2015, playing in the UK where they’ve had the most success.
