There's Something on Your Mind Lyrics

By the way you look at me
I truly do believe something is worrying your troubled mind
There is something on your mind
By the way you look at me
There is something on your mind, baby
By the way you look at me
Whoa, oh, yeah

Can what you're thinking bring our happiness
Or will it bring misery
No, no, no, no, no, no, please don't try to tell me
I think I understand
No, no, don't try to tell me, pretty baby
I tell you I think I understand
Oh, yeah

You want me to try to forget you
Well, I'll do the very best I can

You know, it's so hard to be in love with someone.
It's so hard to be in love with someone that don't love you.
And it carries a heavy burden on your heart to know
That the someone they love is your very best friend.
I tell you, when someone else is rocking you cradle
Better than you can rock your cradle yourself,
There is one thing left for you in this world to do,
Pack your clothes, turn around, walk slowly through the door.
Look over your left shoulder, hang your head and say.

If you ever think about me
If I ever cross your mind
Girl, girl, if you ever think about me, pretty baby
If I ever cross your mind
Whoa, oh, yeah

Well, you know, you know, I'm yours
I know, I know you're mine

After you can't stand it no more, you go on downtown to the pawn shop
And get yourself a pistol.
And then you make it back up on the scene where your loved one
And your best friend are now together.
You go right in and bust down the door and shoot him.
You can't shoot her, because you know if you shoot her,
All your love and your long lifetime will be gone forever.
And just as you make it up in your mind to forgive her,
Here comes another one of your best friends through the door.
This really makes you blow your top.
And you go right ahead and go in person to your heart and shoot her.
And realizing what you've done,
you say, "Baby, please forgive me. I'm sorry."
And with her last dying breath, she looks up at you and says.
