The Thing
Y. Blues Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All the things you said
Keep going through my head
Like a record spinning 'round right to the end
Didn't want you to go
But here we are again (yeah, and then)
All the things you said
Keep going through my head
Like a record spinning 'round right to the end
Didn't want you to go
But here we are again

I still
I still miss you, baby (still)
I still miss you, baby, my baby (he's still)
You're my baby (he's still)
I still miss you, my baby (he's still)
I still miss you, my baby
You are my baby
You are my sunshine (he's still)
You are my baby
You are my sunshine (he's still)
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, oh
(He's still)
(He's still)

All the things you said
Keep going through my head
Like a record spinning 'round right to the end
Didn't want you to go
But here we are again (yeah, he's still)
All the things you said
Keep going through my head
Like a record spinning 'round right to the end (he's still)
Didn't want you to go
But here we are again (he's still)
All the things you said
Keep going through my head
Like a record spinning 'round right to the end




Didn't want you to go
But here we are again (yeah)
