I Can't Get You Off of My Mind
Lenny Kravitz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm out here on the open road
I'm old enough to see behind me
But young enough to feel my soul
I don't want to lose you baby
And I don't want to be alone
Don't want to live my days without you
I've got a pocket full of money
And pocket full of keys that have no bounds
But then I think of lovin'
And I just can't get you off of my mind
Babe can't you see
That this is killing me
I don't want to push you baby
And I don't want you to be told
It's just that I can't breathe without you
Feel like I'm gonna lose control
I've got a pocket full of money, oh yes I do
And a pocket full of keys that have no bounds
But when it comes to lovin'
I just can't get you off of my mind, yeaaah
Am I a fool to think that there's a little hope
Yeah yeahee yeah
Tell me baby, yeah
What are the rules the reasons and the do's and don'ts
Yeah yeahee yeah
Tell me baby, tell me baby, yeah
What do you feel inside?
I've got a pocket full of money
And a pocket full of keys that have no bounds
Oh yeah
But when it comes down to lovin'
I just can't get you off of my mind, yeah
I just can't get you off of my mind, yeah
In "Can't Get You Off My Mind," Lenny Kravitz describes the feeling of being torn between the freedom of being on his own and the desire to be with the person he loves. He acknowledges that life can be lonely sometimes and that he is at a point in his life where he has experience and wisdom, but that he still feels the passion of youth in his soul. Despite having material possessions like money and keys that allow him to go wherever he wants, he can't stop thinking about the one he loves. He doesn't want to be alone, and he doesn't want to lose her, but for now, he has to be without her.
Kravitz's desperation becomes apparent in the chorus when he sings "Babe, can't you see that this is killing me?" He is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the one he loves, but he doesn't want to be too forceful or push her away. However, he feels like he will lose control if he doesn't have her in his life.
In the bridge, Kravitz wonders if there is any hope for him and his love. He wants to know the rules, reasons, and do's and don'ts to figure out if it's worth trying to win her back. He begs her to tell him what she feels inside, as he can't get her off his mind even though he has everything he needs to be happy.

Life is just a lonely highway
Life can be a lonely journey
I'm out here on the open road
I am on this journey alone
I'm old enough to see behind me
I have enough life experience to look back on my past
But young enough to feel my soul
But I still have the vitality and energy to feel alive and free
I don't want to lose you baby
I do not want to lose my loved one
And I don't want to be alone
I do not want to be alone in this journey
Don't want to live my days without you
I cannot imagine living my life without my loved one
But for now I've got to be without you
But unfortunately, I have to live without them for now
I've got a pocket full of money
I have a lot of material wealth
And pocket full of keys that have no bounds
I have the freedom to go wherever I want
But then I think of lovin'
But then I think of love and my loved one
And I just can't get you off of my mind
And I cannot stop thinking about them
Babe can't you see
My loved one, can't they see
That this is killing me
That this situation of being without them is emotionally draining and difficult
I don't want to push you baby
I do not want to force my loved one to be with me
And I don't want you to be told
And I do not want anyone to influence their decision
It's just that I can't breathe without you
It is just that I feel suffocated and lost without them
Feel like I'm gonna lose control
My emotions are getting the better of me and I feel like I am losing my grip on reality
Am I a fool to think that there's a little hope
I question if I am foolish to still believe that there is a chance for us
What are the rules the reasons and the do's and don'ts
I want to understand the boundaries and expectations in order to win their heart
Tell me baby, tell me baby, yeah
I plead with my loved one to communicate their feelings
What do you feel inside?
What are their true feelings?
Oh yeah
Expresses his strong emotions and passion for his loved one
But when it comes down to lovin'
But when it comes down to love and relationships
I just can't get you off of my mind, yeah
I just cannot stop thinking about them

" No puedo sacarte de mi mente "
La vida es solo una carretera solitaria
Estoy aquí afuera en el camino abierto
Soy lo suficientemente grande para ver detrás de mí
Pero bastante joven para sentir mi alma
No quiero perderte nena
Y no quiero estar solo
No quiero vivir mis días sin ti
Pero por ahora tengo que estar sin ti.
Tengo un bolsillo lleno de dinero
Un bolsillo lleno de llaves que no tienen límites
Pero entonces pienso en amar
Y simplemente no puedo sacarte de mi mente.
¿Nena no puedes ver
Que esto me está matando?
No quiero presionarte nena
Y no quiero dirigirte
Es simplemente que no puedo respirar sin ti
Siento que voy a perder el control.
Tengo un bolsillo lleno de dinero oh si lo tengo
Un bolsillo lleno de llaves que no tienen límites
Pero cuando se trata de amar
Simplemente no puedo sacarte de mi mente, sí.
¿Soy un tonto por pensar que hay un poco de esperanza?
Sí sí sí
Dime nena, sí
Cuales son las reglas, las razones y que hacer o no hacer
Sí, sí, sí
Dime nena, dime nena, sí
¿Que sientes por dentro?.
Tengo un bolsillo lleno de dinero
Un bolsillo lleno de llaves que no tienen límites
Oh sí
Pero cuando se trata de amar
Simplemente no puedo sacarte de mi mente, sí
Simplemente no puedo sacarte de mi mente, sí.
