Something On My Mind
Labi Siffre
There's something I've got to say, and it won't wait,
I've got to say it right away; it won't take much time,
Just a little something on my mind. I’m not much good with words,
And when I harmonize, I always harmonize in thirds,
I'm not much good at games, and I can't remember names, speaking of my nose,
I'm well aware, that it's crooked, my eyes, really don't hypnotize,
When you’re in my arms, I can't believe you feel lighter,
You see, I’m really not much of a prize. It’s funny how my brain, usually slow or inactive,
Has of late, supplied me with many ideas, I just think of you,
And I'm a world of emotion, for me, there’s really just one thing to do,
You’ve got to tell me yes or no, should I stay or should I go?
There’s no need to be kind, just say what's on your mind.
