You're On My Mind
King T.V. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love is blind and you are too if you think that I'm the one for you
Talk about "settling down"
You're settling way, way down
Have you gone crazy?
Are you just lazy?
Cause you're not making any sense
You say you love me, don't think I'm ugly
Well, you're out of your mind

Love is blind and you are too if you think that I'm the one for you
Talk about "settling down"
You're settling way, way down
Have you gone crazy?
Are you just lazy?
Cause you're not making any sense
You say you love me, don't think I'm ugly
Well, you're out of your mind

Have you gone crazy?
Are you just lazy?
Cause you're not making any sense




You say you love me, don't think I'm ugly
Well, you're out of your mind

Overall Meaning

The song "You're on My Mind" by King T.V. is a commentary on the delusions of love, and the unrealistic expectations that many people have when it comes to relationships. The lyrics "Love is blind and you are too if you think that I'm the one for you" point to the idea that love can cause people to overlook obvious incompatibilities and flaws in their partner. The repeated line "Talk about 'settling down,' you're settling way, way down" further emphasizes this, suggesting that the singer is not the kind of person their lover should be settling for.


The lines "Have you gone crazy? Are you just lazy?" serve to call out the lover's potential lack of critical thinking when it comes to their relationship. By asking whether they are "just lazy," the singer is suggesting that the lover may not be putting in the effort required to find a more suitable partner, and instead is clinging to a doomed relationship out of convenience. The lyrics "You say you love me, don't think I'm ugly, well you're out of your mind" suggest that the singer is aware of their own shortcomings, and has come to the conclusion that their lover is not able to see the reality of their situation.


Overall, "You're on My Mind" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of placing too much weight on love, and the importance of being honest with oneself about what qualities are truly important in a partner.
