Honey, you've been on my mind
Like Christmas and birthdays, when I was five
Like the ticking clock for racers
And those in the prison line
And Everest for Mallory
And how drinkers know their wine
And the birds and the bees, when you hit nine
And pearls for those girls
Who always have their hair in pretty curls
You're on my mind (Repeat four times)
Honey, you've been in my head
Like homework on Sundays when I've been laughing instead
Like cigarettes for the cool kids behind the garden shed
And love for lovers
And the elephant under 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 (Repeat twelve times)
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
You're on my mind (Repeat eight times)
