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