Somebody Else on Your Mind
Skeeter Davis · Blueberry Hill (RCA Camden) [1965]
When you take me in your arms and tell me that you love me
I want to think it's really true but my heart won't let me
For when you're kissing me it's plain for me to see
You've got somebody else on your mind.
Somebody else is with you in your dreams
Somebody else now has your love it seems
Give her your kisses they're not really mine
You've got somebody else on your mind.
--- Instrumental ---
When you're holding her so close and telling her you love her
What would she think if she just knew you also told another
Someday she will see you said those words to me
And that's somebody else on your mind.
Somebody else is with you in your dreams
Somebody else now has your love it seems
Give her your kisses they're not really mine
You've got somebody else on your mind...
