Lyrics Isaac Hayes – You Never Cross My Mind

Now see here, why all calling me
We both agreed it was gonna be a one-night thing, no strings attached
I go my way and you go yours, and look what happened
Yeah, but

I lay there every night while you loved me
And I’m used to nights that go by slow
And I wake up every morning where you left me
Wondering which way the day is gonna go
But you never cross my mind
Though I cry from time to time
No, you never cross my mind
You just stay there all the time

I got a letter from you. You promised you wasn’t gonna do that
But from time to time my eyes found a picture
The very one I forgot to put away…
Just another memory trying to make me miss you
And I found one more without you in my mind
But you never cross my mind
Though I cry from time to time
No, you never cross my mind
But you just stay there all the time

You want to know why I’m calling you
I want to know why you wrote to me
Well, I-I—I just wanted to say hi
I can understand that, ’cause

Now and then, a friend will say they saw you
And I said what could all that matter to me
You know what, late at night, when I’m content with being lonely
I get this unwanted visit from old misery
And that’s why, that’s why you never cross my mind
