I Almost Lost My Mind
Fats Domino · I'm Walkin [2010]
I almost lost my mind
Ooh I'm sad
My head is in a spin
Since she's left me behind
Well I've passed a million people
I can't tell who I'm meet
Oh I've passed
My heart is full of misery
Where can my baby be
Well I went to a fortune teller
And I had my fortune read
Oh I'm sad
I hung my head with sorrow
When she said what she said
Well I can tell you people
The news was not so good
Oh no I knew
She said "your baby has left you
This time she's gone for good"
