Story Behind The Song
My friend had an affair with a married man, she wanted to tell the world she loved him and asked me to write about it discreetly in a song, which i did though i used it from the perspective that the relationship had ended, by the time the song was recorded the actual affair had ended, so the song foretold the future!

Lyrics
Cant get you off my mind
V1
Was gonna call you up just the other night to see how you were and if things were alright,
Wanted to ask if you've been missing me, when I looked at my watch, it was a quarter past three,
Spent the whole night wondering what went wrong,
put a pen to paper and wrote this song,
The writings blurred from the tears i cried,
CH:
Cos I cant get you off my mind
Oooh ooh
V2
looking for a reson in every rhyme, wanna ask you over now isnt the time,
Wonder if you want to be here anyway,
should I call you up at the break of day,
Its a game we played and it went too far, someone gets hurt and here we are,
looking for answers we will never find,
CH:
but i cant get you off my mind,
Ooooh noooo
BR:
Id like to say im doin' fine
But I was never one for lyin;
Is this the way it has to end,
No more your lover just your friend.
Repeat 1st verse
Ch to end
