[Verse 1]
It's a little blurry how the whole thing started
I don't even really know what you intended
Thought that you were cute and you could make me jealous
Poured it down, so I poured it down
Next thing that I know I'm in a hotel with you
You were talking deep like it was mad love to you
You wanted my heart but I just liked your tattoos
Poured it down, so I poured it down
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And now I don't understand it
You don't mess with love, you mess with the truth
And I know I shouldn't say it
But my heart don't understand
[Chorus]
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
On my mind
[Verse 2]
I always hear, always hear them talking
Talking 'bout a boy, 'bout a boy with my name
Saying that I hurt you but I still don't get it
You didn't love me, no, not really
Wait
I could have really liked you
I'll bet, I'll bet that's why I keep on thinking 'bout you
It's a shame, you said I was good
So I poured it down, so I poured it down
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And now I don't understand it
You don't mess with love, you mess with the truth
And I know I shouldn't say it
But my heart don't understand
[Chorus]
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
On my mind
[Bridge]
You got yourself in a dangerous zone
Cause we both have the fear, fear of being alone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I still don't understand it
You don't mess with love, you mess with the truth
And my heart don't understand it
Understand it
[Chorus]
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
On my mind
[Outro]
You think you know somebody
You think you know somebody
You think you know somebody
You think you know somebody
You think you know somebody
You think you know somebody
You think you know somebody
You think you know somebody
It's a little blurry how the whole thing started
I don't even really know what you intended
Thought that you were cute and you could make me jealous
Poured it down, so I poured it down
Next thing that I know I'm in a hotel with you
You were talking deep like it was mad love to you
You wanted my heart but I just liked your tattoos
Poured it down, so I poured it down
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And now I don't understand it
You don't mess with love, you mess with the truth
And I know I shouldn't say it
But my heart don't understand
[Chorus]
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
On my mind
[Verse 2]
I always hear, always hear them talking
Talking 'bout a boy, 'bout a boy with my name
Saying that I hurt you but I still don't get it
You didn't love me, no, not really

Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
On my mind

Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
