Keeping My Mind On Love
Mary Wells Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got a message for you people
All over the world, to lovers and couples
People in love, this is what you gotta do
Do what I've learned to do

I'm keeping my mind on love
It's the only thing that the two of us share too little of
Love is simple, love is kind
Always trusting unlike yours and mine

Once again we try to make it on our own
Only to find out beyond a doubt we need each other
When do we decide to come together at heart
Knowing that we can't make it, we can't make it apart

I'm keeping my mind on love
It's the only thing that the two of us share too little of
Love is simple, love is kind
Always trusting unlike yours and mine

Problems, they come and they go
They're part of life as we both should know
Honey, understand we're still growing
Why try and work them out alone
If we only come together, we can make them stepping stones
All it takes is just a little trust from the both of us
That's why

I'm keeping my mind on love
It's the only thing that the two of us share too little of
Honey, listen to me
Love is simple, love is kind
Understanding, not like yours and mine

Yeah Problems, we're gonna use them for our stepping stones
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah
We're gonna move on up a little higher





I'm keeping my mind on love
I'm keeping my mind on love
