I've been stayin' up late
Just a thinkin' about
Ways to get you off my mind.

I keep wanderin' around
Through all the lonely
Parts of town
To try and see
If I might could ever find
One last hope
That I could cling to
In case I make the break through
And finally get you off my mind.

I tried givin' up dreamin'
But your memory kept schemin'
And found all kinda ways
To sneak back into my sleep
I finally quit talkin' to strangers
Out of fear there's always
The danger
They say hi, hello,
Or somethin' else
You might'a said to me.

I've been stayin' up late
Just a thinkin' about
Ways to get you off my mind.
