I betcha you left for work 'bout 10 minutes late
you didnt even wear the dress I bought
didnt eat at our favorite spot
baby, you found a new place
so I'm sittin here at the same time
pickin' up the pieces you left behind
oh, now god knows that I miss your face
cant help it wonder what it takes
to get back in your life

-chorus-
girl, how often do you think of me
how often do I enter your mind girl
is there ever a time
how often do you cry for me
I cry for you like all the time
and I wonder if I ever cross your mind

your mind, your mind
your mind, your mind...

girl I thought what we had was so strong
that's why it lasted so long
you couldnt find yourself a better man
that's why I just dont understand it
why you're not here

-chorus-
girl, how often do you think of me
how often do I enter your mind girl
is there ever a time
how often do you cry for me
I cry for you like all the time
and I wonder if I ever cross your mind

I've got to get back to you
reasons are so clear
I know that I cant live without you
now that you're not here
I'm saving everythin I got
I'm holdin on to you
we were wrong to let things go
I need to know if you still love me

-chorus-
how often do you think of me
how often do I enter your mind girl
is there ever a time
how often do you cry for me
I cry for you like all the time
and I wonder if I ever cross your mind

-repeat chorus-
