Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby you come rollin' across my mind
Every once or twice the feeling's kinda nice
Baby you come rollin' across my mind
Baby you come rollin' across my mind
Every other day since you've been away
Baby you come rollin' across my mind
Baby you come rollin' across my mind
Baby you come rollin' across my mind
In the windows of the store
In the darkened pawn shop doors
In the pounding summer rain
You'll come back to me again
And when the feeling comes, it's like a thousand drums
Pounding in my heart, since we've been apart
Baby you come rollin' across my mind
Baby you come rollin' across my mind
And in the morning aftermath
You'll come back and cross my mind
And when the feeling comes, it's like a thousand drums
Pounding in my heart, since we've been apart
Baby you come rollin' across my mind
Baby you come rollin' across my mind

Every now and then I see you again
Occasionally, I have glimpses of you in my thoughts
Baby you come rollin' across my mind
You enter my mind randomly and without any invitation
Every once or twice the feeling's kinda nice
Sometimes the memories of you evoke pleasant emotions
Baby you come rollin' across my mind
You unexpectedly pop into my thoughts again
Baby you come rollin' across my mind
You continue to invade my thoughts without any warning
Every other day since you've been away
On alternate days, I keep thinking of you since you left
When I think I'm free you sneak up on me
Just when I think I am over you, you come back to my thoughts
Baby you come rollin' across my mind
You always manage to show up in my thoughts, no matter what I do
In the windows of the store
Everywhere I look, I catch a glimpse of you in my memory
In the darkened pawn shop doors
I can't help but remember you in the most unexpected places
In the pounding summer rain
Even the weather reminds me of you
You'll come back to me again
I keep expecting you to return to my life
And when the feeling comes, it's like a thousand drums
The emotions flood over me unexpectedly and overwhelmingly
Pounding in my heart, since we've been apart
The heartache has only grown since we separated
Baby you come rollin' across my mind
You never truly leave my thoughts, no matter how much time passes
Baby you come rollin' across my mind
You remain relentless in your hold on my thoughts and memories
And in the morning aftermath
Even in the quiet moments after a restless night, you linger in my thoughts
You'll come back and cross my mind
I know that no matter what, you will always find your way back to my memories
Baby you come rollin' across my mind
You are a constant presence in my thoughts and emotions
Baby you come rollin' across my mind
You have become an integral part of my life, no matter how hard I try to forget you
