All In My Mind

Dakota Staton · Time To Swing [2009]

I think that you don't care

And it's more than I can bear

I don't know, baby

Maybe its all in my mind, all in my mind

I know that I've been true

But honey, sweetie baby what about you?

I don't know, baby

Maybe it's all in my mind

We've been going steady so long

I'd never dream you would ever do me wrong

I knew I was yours and I thought you were mine

And that every little thing was so fine

Whoa, darling, I'd hate to see

Someone else with you other than me

I don't know baby

Maybe its all in my mind

All in mind, oh, uum, uum

Oh yes, its all in my mind

I don't mean to think so mean and evil, baby

Please tell me, tell me

It's all in my mind
