Something’s on my mind
It’s been troubling 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 putting me through
And just how long I’ve been wanting 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’ve been feeling the same way
And you were playing such a silly silly game
And my loving you hasn’t been in vain

Baby don’t you know
And I hope you’re gonna say
All this time you were feeling the same way
And you were playing such a silly silly game
And my loving you hasn’t been in vain

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