Songwriter: Keith Diamond James Ingram

Producer: Keith Diamond

[Verse 1]
You're in front of the camera
Showing your pretty face
From Paris to Australia
You travel from place to place
I'm climbing a wall
Waiting for your call
I don't hear from you at all
You're busy each day
Then you're taken away
What am I to do

[Chorus]
Lately I can't reach you at night
Honey, you're on my mind
(Who's on your mind)
I can feel you drifting from me
Somebody's taking my time
(Who's on your mind)
Lately I can't reach you at night
Honey, you're on my mind
(Thinking about you)
I can feel you drifting from me
Somebody's taking my time

[Verse 2]
I can still remember
All of the promises we made
And in my mind I wonder, love
Is the vision about to fade, oh
I stand and stare
At your smile evеrywhere
But at home I play solitarе
I'm standing in line
And I'm losing my mind
What am I to do

[Chorus]
Lately I can't reach you at night
Honey, you're on my mind
(Who's on your mind)
I can feel you drifting from me
Somebody's taking my time
(Who's on your mind)
Lately I can't reach you at night
Honey, you're on my mind
(Thinking about you)
Girl I can feel you drifting from me
Somebody's taking my time

[Bridge]
Love is running away
Girl, it's running away
Lately somebody's taking you away
I'm missing you each and every day
(I'm thinking about you)
I get lonely in the night time
I'm just waiting for the right time
To hold you
Don't know which way to turn
Girl, I'd give everything I own
Just to have you, baby

[Chorus Outro]
Lately somebody's takin'
Somebody's takin'
Somebody's takin' my time
Lately somebody's
Somebody's
Somebody's takin' my time
Lately somebody's
(I wanna know what's going on)
Somebody's
Somebody's takin' my time
