There's Something on Your Mind
Vocal:B.B.King/Etta James
Theres something on your mind
By the way you look at me
Theres something on your mind, baby
By the way you look at me
And what youre thinking brings happiness
Oh and it brings misery
Please, please, dont try to tell me
I think, I, I understand
No, no, dont try to tell me, baby
Cause I think, I, I understand
You want me to try and forget you
Well, Ill do
Baby, Ill do the best I can
You know it hurts you when youre in love with someone and you know that
someone dont love you. It carries a heavy burden on your heart to know
that the someone that youre in love with is in love with your best friend.
And Ill tell you , when someone else is rocking you, rocking your cradle, you
know, better than you can rock your cradle yourself, then theres only one
thing for you to do. You just pack your clothes, turn around, and slowly
walk out of the door. Look over your left shoulder as you go out, then
you hang your head and you say --
Oh please dont try to tell me
Uh huh, I think, I understand
No, no, no, no
Please dont try to tell me
Because you think, you think I understand
Oh you want me to try
To try to forget you, baby
And Ill tell you, Ill do the best I can
You know after you have done all you could do and you cant take no more,
then you go downtown, you get your big baseball bat and you come back on
the scene where they both are still together, and then you just go and kick
down the door. Now as you kick down the door you just start beating the hell
of everybody that you can see, everybody that comes through the door, and
just as you make up your mind that youre gonna try to forgive her, then out
comes another one of your friends, and that really blows your mind. So you go
and think about, you say to yourself, baby, I realize Ive done wrong but
please forgive me. And with a smirky smile on her face then she look up at you
and she say.
If you ever think about me
(Oh I think about you, baby )
If you ever change your mind
(Oh youre staying on my mind, baby)
If you ever think about me
(Oh I think, I think about you all the time)
And if I ever cross your mind
(You stay on my mind)
Well, you know, you know
You know Im yours
And I know, I know you got to be mine
(Yeah)
Theres something on your mind, B.
I can tell by the way you look at me
(Oh theres something, on my mind, Miss James)
Theres something on your mind
(Oh can you tell, theres something on my mind)
By the way you look at me
(Oh the way I look at you, you look good to me)
And what youre thinking brings happiness
(Yes, baby)
Oh and it can bring misery
(Yes, all right)
