Georgia On My Mind
Nora & Will Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't like what's on my mind
Yeah, I know this shit ain't right
But I can't stop the feelings I have, they're eating me alive
And I know you won't understand what's on my mind
I been thinking 'bout you for a long time now
I don't think you even know it, but you're mine now
And I don't really show it, but I've been crying now and then
But I don't think I'm ready to die now
And mama won't you please come save me?
I blame it all on you you should hate me
You're smiling but it's all a front, it's benefiting none of us
I wish I knew what's really up, they tell me I'm not old enough
I don't like what's on my mind
Yeah, I know this shit ain't right
But I can't stop the feelings I have, they're eating me alive
And I know you won't understand what's on my mind
I bet you never even heard of the drugs that I'm spilling on the floor
And I wish that I could tell you about it but my life's been such a bore
I was born in a time where there's nothing left to the imagination
And tell me why I had to deal with such a tortured education
I don't like what's on my mind
Yeah I know this shit ain't right




But I can't stop the feelings I have, they're eating me alive
And I know you won't understand what's on my mind
