Lately baby, I've been thinking 
 How good it was when you were here 
 And it ain't the wine that I been drinking 
 For once I feel my head is clear 

 But early this morning, when I opened up my eyes 
 That old lonesome feeling took me by surprise 
 I guess you meant more to me than I realized 
 The love we had stays on my mind 
 The love we had stays on my mind 

 And lately girl, I've been remembering 
 The good times that we used to share 
 My thoughts of you don't have an ending 
 And memories of you are everywhere 

 But why should I tell you, it's not your concern 
 You win some, you lose some 
 Well I've lost and I've learned 
 Sisqo's so lonely 
 With no place to turn 
 And here at the end, I find 
 Yes I do 

 The love we had stays on my mind 
 Girl, if you were nearer 
 If you had a mirror 
 Maybe you could count my tears 

 And if you were nearer 
 It would all be clearer 
 How I wish that you were here 
 How I wish that you were here 
 How I wish, how I wish 
 How I wish that you were here 

 And baby girl I was tired 
 So I laid down to dream for a little while 
 But lately I've been so, so uninspired 
 Without [bad word] of your smile 

 But I'm [bad word] 
 Cuz that's how it goes 
 There's always some heartache 
 In this world I suppose 
 But you can't imagine 
 But nobody knows 

 The love we had stays on my mind 
 The love we had stays on my mind 
 The love we had stays on my mind
