I've Got A Lot On My MindWritten by Jim Butterfield Performed by Butterfield 8
Well it's over in a day
You never know what to say And you won't get a second chance But you try just the same 'Cause it's only a game And you don't want to take that chance I never thought that it would come to the point Where I would have to decide good or bad But that doesn't mean much 'Cause it isn't what you really believe That counts No it isn't what you only believe That's just your mind It's just your mind Suzie is a waitress in a cocktail bar And she drinks almost every day And she's learned all the lines She know sall the moves But she doesn't know what to say Someday maybe when she gets to the point Where she can't put it off anymore She'll decide she can change But revelations seem Like a real rare thing So I don't think I'll hold my breath She just says... I've got a lot on my mind I might not have too much time This week I'm doing just fine But I've got a lot on my mind Well I called all night and I called all day But your schedule was too intense And your answering machine Doesn't know what I mean 'Cause it doesn't speak present tense All day long I could stare at your photo And tell it stories with figures and facts But that won't mean much 'Cause it isn't what you really believe That counts, no it isn't what you only believe Believe me I've got a lot on my mind I might not have too much time This month I'm doing just fine But I've got a lot on my mind |
