B. Core & Paul B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By the way you look at me
There is something on your mind, baby
By the way you look at me
And what you're thinking brings happiness
Oh, and it bring misery
Please, please, don't try to tell me
No, no, don't try to tell me, baby
'Cause I think, I, I understand
You want me to try and forget you
Well, I'll do, baby, I'll do the best I can
You know it hurts you when you're in love with someone
And you know that someone don't love you
It carries a heavy burden on your heart to know
That the someone that you're in love with
Is in love with your best friend
And I'll tell you, when someone else is rocking you
Rocking your cradle, you know, better
Than you can rock your cradle yourself
Then there's only one thing for you to do
You just pack your clothes turn around
And slowly walk out of the door
Look over your left shoulder as you go out
Then you hang your head and you say
Oh please don't try to tell me
Uh huh, I think, I understand
No, no, no, no please don't try to tell me
Because you think, you think I understand
Oh you want me to try, to try to forget you, baby
And I'll tell you, I'll do the best I can
You know after you have done all you could do
And you can't take no more, then you go downtown
You get your big baseball bat
And you come back on the scene
Where they both are still together
And then you just go and kick down the door
Now as you kick down the door you just start
Beating the hell of everybody that you can see
Everybody that comes through the door
And just as you make up your mind that you're gonna try
To forgive her, then out comes another one of your friends
And that really blows your mind so you go and think about
You say to yourself, baby I realize I've done wrong
But please forgive me and with a smirky smile on her face
Then she look up at you and she say
If you ever think about me
(Oh I think about you, baby)
If you ever change your mind
(Oh you're staying on my mind, baby)
If you ever think about me
(Oh I think, I think about you all the time)
And if I ever cross your mind
(You stay on my mind)
Well, you know, you know
You know I'm yours
And I know, I know you got to be mine
(Yeah)
There's something on your mind, be
I can tell by the way you look at me
(Oh, there's something, on my mind, baby)
There is something on your mind
(Oh can you tell, there's something on my mind)
By the way you look at me
(Oh the way I look at you, you look good to me)
And what you're thinking brings happiness
(Yes, baby)
Oh and it can bring misery
(Yes, all right)

I can sense that you're troubled about something

There is something on your mind, baby
I'm sure there's something you're thinking about, honey
And what you're thinking brings happiness
Whatever's on your mind could be something positive that brings joy
Oh, and it bring misery
On the other hand, it's possible that what you're thinking about is causing you pain and distress
Please, please, don't try to tell me
You don't have to explain anything to me
I think, I, I understand
I believe I can relate to what you're going through
No, no, don't try to tell me, baby
It's okay if you'd rather not talk about it right now
You want me to try and forget you
It seems like you're trying to distance yourself from me
Well, I'll do, baby, I'll do the best I can
I'll respect your wishes and try to move on
You know it hurts you when you're in love with someone
Being in love with someone who doesn't love you back is painful
And you know that someone don't love you
You're aware that the person you love doesn't feel the same way
It carries a heavy burden on your heart to know
This knowledge weighs heavily on your emotions
That the someone that you're in love with
The person you have feelings for
Is in love with your best friend
Is romantically involved with your closest confidant
And I'll tell you, when someone else is rocking you
I can only imagine what it must feel like to see the person you love with someone else
Rocking your cradle, you know, better
They're providing comfort and support in a way that you can't
Than you can rock your cradle yourself
It's a difficult feeling to accept that someone else is able to care for your loved one more than you can
Then there's only one thing for you to do
In this situation, there's really only one course of action
You just pack your clothes turn around
You need to leave the situation and remove yourself from the pain you're experiencing
And slowly walk out of the door
You have to take your time leaving, to give yourself a chance to process your emotions
Look over your left shoulder as you go out
You're unsure if you'll ever return
Then you hang your head and you say
You feel defeated and sad as you leave
Oh please don't try to tell me
There's nothing you can say that will change my mind
Uh huh, I think, I understand
I've already processed what you're going through
Oh you want me to try, to try to forget you, baby
You're hoping I can move on from our relationship
And I'll tell you, I'll do the best I can
I'll try my best to let go and move forward
You know after you have done all you could do
Once you've tried everything to make a relationship work
And you can't take no more, then you go downtown
You might feel like leaving town to try and escape the pain
You get your big baseball bat
You might feel the urge to lash out
And you come back on the scene
You might feel compelled to return to confront the people causing you pain
Where they both are still together
If your ex and your best friend are still together
And then you just go and kick down the door
You might feel like taking drastic action to express your anger and frustration
Now as you kick down the door you just start
With adrenaline pumping, your sense of control may begin to slip away
Beating the hell of everybody that you can see
You might lash out and hurt others, even those who weren't directly involved
Everybody that comes through the door
You might let your emotions take over and hurt innocent people
And just as you make up your mind that you're gonna try
You might feel like you're ready to forgive and move on
To forgive her, then out comes another one of your friends
But then you're hit with another painful truth: your friend was also involved
And that really blows your mind so you go and think about
This revelation will cause you to question everything you thought you knew about your relationships
You say to yourself, baby I realize I've done wrong
Eventually, you'll come to terms with your own role in the failed relationship
But please forgive me and with a smirky smile on her face
You might have to put on a brave face and crack a smile, even though you're still hurting
Then she look up at you and she say
The person who hurt you may seem remorseful, but those feelings could be disingenuous
If you ever think about me
Even if you're trying to move on from me
(Oh I think about you, baby)
I might still be on your mind
If you ever change your mind
If you ever reconsider our relationship
(Oh you're staying on my mind, baby)
You're still an important part of my life
If you ever think about me
Even if you're trying to move on from me
(Oh I think, I think about you all the time)
You're never far from my thoughts
And if I ever cross your mind
If I ever come to mind
(You stay on my mind)
I always keep you in my thoughts
Well, you know, you know
You already know
You know I'm yours
I belong to you
And I know, I know you got to be mine
You know that I'm meant to be with you
There's something on your mind, be
You're still troubled by what's on your mind
I can tell by the way you look at me
I can see the worry and concern on your face
(Oh, there's something, on my mind, baby)
Yes, there is something that's bothering me
There is something on your mind
You're still preoccupied with this issue
(Oh can you tell, there's something on my mind)
Do you notice how distracted I am?
By the way you look at me
I'm sure you can tell how unhappy I am
(Oh the way I look at you, you look good to me)
Even though I'm sad, I still find comfort in being near you
And what you're thinking brings happiness
The thoughts running through your mind could be making you feel better
(Yes, baby)
It's reassuring to know that you're not always unhappy
Oh and it can bring misery
But it's also possible that these thoughts are making things worse for you
(Yes, all right)
I understand the ups and downs of life, and I'm here for you no matter what
