Before Peter Allen was in such Broadway shows as Up in One (1979) and Legs Diamond (1988-89), he wrote songs for the show Vain Victory (1971) at the off-off-Broadway La MaMa Theatre, made his Broadway debut in Soon (1971), a rock opera that played only three performances, and contributed songs to the 1979 musical, The Madwoman of Central Park West ("Don't Wish" a.k.a. "Don't Wish Too Hard") and the 1980 play, Last Summer at Bluefish Cove ("Impatient Heart"). He also made demos for such musicals as 70, Girls, 70 (1971), Prettybelle (1971), and Follies (1971). "Losing My Mind" was a demo Allen did for Stephen Sondheim's musical, Follies.

"Losing My Mind"
Written by: S. Sondheim
The sun comes up, I think about you.
The coffee cup, I think about you.
I want you so, it's like I'm losing my mind.
The morning ends, I think about you.
I talk to friends, I think about you.
And do they know, it's like I'm losing my mind.
All afternoon, doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright.
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left, not going right.
I dim the lights, and think about you.
Spend sleepless nights to think about you.
You said you loved me, or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?
Does no one know, it's like I'm losing my mind.
All afternoon, doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright.
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left, not going right.
I dim the lights, and think about you.
Spend sleepless nights to think about you.
You said you loved me, or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?
