Lyrics
On My Mind
By Ben Kyle
Verse
She leaves her number on the bar every time she comes around
?Give me a call on the weekend, baby, when Tony?s out of town
You?re too young to get married honey, you ought?a be sleeping around?
Well I do vicariously, through everybody in this town
Oh, when the lights go down up on 1st Avenue
And all the pretty girls in this town make their way into you
And there?s a feeling that you find can overcome your will
But there?s something in your mind that says I love her still
Chorus
You?ve been on my mind, lately
All the time, baby
You?ve been on my mind, lately
All the time, baby
Kimberly Ruth,
Let me tell you the truth?
Verse
The lights are bright downtown tonight and everybody looks so fine
She walks over and across my shoulder says, ?are you having a good time??
Well I guess tonight?s been alright, as far as good times go
She says, ?you know, I find, underneath the good times, we?re all just part of the show?
Oh, when the lights go down up on 1st Avenue
And all the pretty girls in this town make their way into you
And there?s a feeling that you find can overcome your will
But there?s something in your mind that says I love her still
Chorus
You?ve been on my mind, lately
All the time, baby
You?ve been on my mind, lately
All the time, baby
Kimberly Ruth,
Let me tell you the truth?
Bridge
I know I, can tell you lies
I know that you, can be untrue
I know that we, can get uptight
But I know that love, can make it right
I know that love, can make it right
Chorus
You?ve been on my mind, lately
All the time, baby
You?ve been on my mind, lately
All the time, baby
Kimberly Ruth,
Let me tell you the truth?
