There's Something on Your Mind [German translation]

There's something on your mind

By the way you look at me

There's something on your mind, baby

By the way you look at me

And what you're thinking brings happiness

Oh and it brings misery

Please, please, don't try to tell me

I think, I, I understand

No, no, don't try to tell me, baby

'Cause I think, I, I understand

You want me to try and forget you

Well, I'll do

Baby, I'll do the best I can

You know it hurts you when you're in love with someone and you know that someone don't love you. It carries a heavy burden on your heart to know that the someone that you're in love with is in love with your best friend. And I'll tell you, when someone else is rocking you, rocking your cradle, you know, better than you can rock your cradle yourself, then there's 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 don't try to tell me

Uh huh, I think, I understand

No, no, no, no

Please don't try to tell me

Because you think, you think I understand

Oh you want me to try

To try to forget you, baby

And I'll tell you, I'll do the best I can

You know after you have done all you could do and you can't 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 you're 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 I've 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 charge your mind

Oh you're 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 I'm yours

And I know, I know you got to be mine

Yeah

There's something on your mind, B

I can tell by the way you look at me

Oh there's something, on my mind, Miss James

There's something on your mind

Oh can you tell, there's 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 you're thinking brings happiness

Yes, baby

Oh and it can bring misery

Yes, all right
