Got To Get You Off My Mind
Huey Lewis / The News Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know it's just a matter of time
You've found somebody new
And our romance is through
Yes it is
Gonna throw your picture away
You didn't want my love, any old way
And our romance is through
Yes it is
Some folks love is hard and strong
That's the kind of love that lingers on
Some folks love is swift and fast
That's the kind of love that'll never last
We had a love that was in between
And to me it was like a dream
If we had stayed together till June
Not a problem, bride and groom
That's why
Got to get you off of my mind
I know it's just a matter of time
You've found somebody new
And our romance is through
Listen to me
Got to get you off of my mind
I know it's just a matter of time
Got to get you off of my mind
I know it's just a matter of time

My guess is that everyone just assumed that Huey was just a One hit wonder. I know that was my take on him. Hell I didn't even know that he was still active up-to 2010. Oddly it was Hip to be Square that brought me here. As I was curious to know if he was still working active Recording Artist.
