I try hard to forget you and the love I once shared with you
But my mind won’t let forgetfulness come in
There’s no use in pretending the hurt is just beginning
Just when I think it’s ending you’re on my mind again
On my mind again just like you’ve always been
On my mind with mem’ries I’m rememberin’
On my mind again just like you’ve always been
Yes I find I’ve got you on my mind again

Sometimes I go to places where certain things erases
All traces of your mem’ry now and then
Oh then something will remind me of the love I left behind me
Then again your mem’ry finds me and you’re on my mind again
On my mind again…
Yes I find I’ve got you on my mind again on my mind again
