Something's on my mind
It's been troublin' me a long long time
Now I think it would best if you knew
Just how much I'm in love with you

I don't think it's fair, you walk by
And pretend I'm not there, boy don't you know
What you're puttin' me through
And just how long I've been wantin' you

I've waited patiently for you to come to me
And I've stood in long as I can
Now I've got to know
Got to know, just where I stand

And I hope you're gonna say
All this time you were feelin' the same way
And you were playin' such a silly, silly game
And my lovin' you hasn't been in vain

Baby, don't you know, I hope you're gonna say
All this time you were feelin' the same way
And you were playin' such a silly, silly game
And my lovin' you hasn't been in vain

Something's on my mind, just how much
I need you baby, something's on my mind
That's been troubling me a long, long time
Baby, baby, something's on my mind, just how much
