Honey, you’ve been on my mind
Like Christmas and birthdays when I was five
Like the ticking clock for racers and those in the prison line
Everest for Mallory
And how drinkers know thier wine

And the birds and the bees when you hit nine
And pearls for those girls
Who always have their hair in pretty curls

You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind

Honey, you’ve been in my head
Like homework on Sundays when I’ve been laughing instead
Cigarettes for the cool kids behind the garden shed
And love for lovers in the elephant by my bed
And pearls for those girls
Who always have their hair in pretty curls
And football for English boys
Who always have the newest toys

You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind

So don’t you go away too long
Don’t you go away too long
Don’t you go away too long
Don’t you go away too long

You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind
