Got You On My Mind
NF Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Started with phone conversations and I
Flew out to see you, it's raining outside
We sat by the water and talked about life
Oh, said you lost your dad, girl I know how that feels
I lost my mom, tryna deal with that still
I guess we connect on our hatred for pills
It's real
I got you on my mind, baby
I got you on my mind, baby
I got you on my mind, baby
I got you on my mind, I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind, baby
I got you on my mind, I got you on my mind

You got me thinking things I never used to
I'm not the phone type, I'd rather be with you
Sometimes I hold back from saying, "I miss you"
But I miss you
I have to admit, on this road I get lonely
But you make me smile every time that you call me
You let me be myself
You don't control me

I got you on my mind, baby
I got you on my mind, I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind, baby
I got you on my mind, I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind, baby
I got you on my mind, I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind, baby
I got you on my mind, I got you on my mind

Laying in my bed, I'm just staring at the ceiling, baby
I just wanna know if you feel what I'm feeling, baby
Got you on my mind yeah, tell me what the deal is lately
Yeah, deal is lately, deal is lately
I'm a man of my word, girl believe that
I'm a closed book but somehow you learn to read that
Know that I should relax, hate the way I react
Thinking that I'm good but you know I'm 'bout to relapse
Thinking that I'm good but you know I'm 'bout to relapse
Girl I wake up in the morning', all I can think of is you

I got you on my mind, baby
I got you on my mind, I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind, baby
I got you on my mind, I got you on my mind (don't you know, don't you know)
I got you on my mind, baby
I got you on my mind, I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind, baby
I got you on my mind, I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind, I got you on my mind, oh yeah
Baby I got you on my mind, ooh yeah
I got you on my mind, baby




I got you on my mind, baby
Got you on my mind

Laying in my bed
I'm just staring acting so though
Trapped in a love bubble
All these years has been rough
Got this on my mind yeah
Thinking that I'm not enough, not enough, not enough

I'm a man of my word
I deserve more
Even though love all these years
Left me down on the floor
But I can't close my door
I can't simply ignore
Because one day will show up
The girl I've been asking for

Because one day will show up
The girl I've been asking for
(Have to keep my chin-up, I just can't give up)

I hope you're good dude, don't give up
You'll find who you're looking for someday
Someone who's not leaving
Someone who's in your life to stay

Someone who'll cheer you up
No matter what she has to say
Someone who out of nowhere
Can simply make your day

Someday you'll simply find
Your little star
Keep your chin up in the sky
I'm sure she's not far

And I'm sorry that love for you
Left a huge scar
But you'll see someday you'll find the one
Who loves you just the way you are
