Lyrics

The sun comes up,

I think a bout (Eb6)you.

The cof fee cup,

I think a bout (Ab)you.

I want you so, it’s like I’m los ing my mind.

The morn ing ends,

I think a bout (Eb6)you.

I talk to friends,

I think a bout (Ab)you.

And do they know?

It’s like I’m los ing my mind.

All af ter noon, do ing (Gm6)ev ’ry lit tle chore,

the thought of (Gm7)you stays (C7)bright.

Some times I (F)stand in the (Fm6)mid dle of the floor,

not go ing left,

not go ing (Bb7)right.

I dim the lights

and think a bout (Eb6)you.

Spend sleep less nights

to think a bout (Ab)you.

You said you loved (Gm)me, or were you just be ing kind?

Or am I los ing my (Eb)mind?

I want you so, it’s like I’m los ing my mind.

Does no one know?

It’s like I’m los ing my mind.

(Eb)mind?
