[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
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
