You're On My Mind
Rose Royce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you know you're on my mind (my mind)
And every place I go and everything I do
the girl that's on my mind is you
Well listen girl cause you're my inspiration in every way
and that's the reason why I think about you all the time
You're like a dream, a dream come true
and if it was left up to me girl, I'd marry you now
and ever
oooo weee ooooo ooo ooo ooo
I said together (together), forever (forever), me and you oh baby
music break
Oooo baby you're on my mind (ooo ooo ooo)all the time
so you're never ever hard to find
you're on my mind (ooo ooo ooo) cause you're always on my mind
you're on my mind (ooo ooo ooo)Oh Oh Oh

baby baby baby you're my everything, and every? that I sing is to you
you're on my mind (ooo ooo ooo)
