  • Oh
    Oh oh oh, hey

    It's a little dirty how the whole thing started
    I don't even really know what you intended
    Thought that you were cute and you could make me jealous
    Poured it down, so I poured it down
    Next thing that I know I'm in the hotel with you
    You were talking deep like it was mad love to you
    You wanted my heart but I just liked your tattoos
    Poured it down, so I poured it down

    And now I don't understand it
    You don't mess with love, you mess with the truth
    And I know I shouldn't say it
    But my heart don't understand

    Why I got you on my mind
    Why I got you on my mind
    Why I got you on my mind
    Why I got you on my mind (but my heart don't understand)
    Why I got you on my mind
    Why I got you on my mind
    Why I got you on my mind
    Why I got you on my mind, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh

    I always hear, always hear them talking
    Talking 'bout a girl, 'bout a girl with my name
    Saying that I hurt you but I still don't get it
    You didn't love me, no, not really
    Wait, I could have really liked you
    I'll bet, I'll bet that's why I keep on thinking 'bout you
    It's a shame (shame), you said I was good
    So I poured it down, so I poured it down

    And now I don't understand it
    You don't mess with love, you mess with the truth
    And I know I shouldn't say it
    But my heart don't understand

    Why I got you on my mind
    Why I got you on my mind
    Why I got you on my mind
    Why I got you on my mind (but my heart don't understand)
    Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
    Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody
    Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
    Why I got you on my mind

    You got yourself in a dangerous zone
    'Cause we both have the fear, fear of being alone

    And I still don't understand it
    You don't mess with love, you mess with the truth
    And my heart don't understand it, understand it, understand it

    Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
    Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
    Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
    Why I got you on my mind (but my heart don't understand)
    Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
    Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
    Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
    Why I got you on my mind (but my heart don't understand)
    Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
    You think you know somebody (why I got you on my mind)
    You think you know somebody
