Daddy, You Been On My Mind Songtext
von Keren Ann

Perhaps it′s the color of the sun cut flat and coverin'
The crossroads I′m standin' at.
Or maybe it's the weather or somethin′ like that.
Daddy, you been on my mind.

Don′t mean trouble please don't put me down or get upset. I am not pleading
Or saying I can′t forget.
I do not pace the floors bowed down and bent but yet,
Daddy you been on my mind.


Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow where you been don't bother me
No put me down with sorrow.
See, I don′t even mind who'll you be waking with tomorrow.
Daddy, you′ve been on my mind.

I'm not askin' you to say words like yes or no.
Please, understand me.
Got no place for you to go.
I′m just whispering to myself so I can′t pretend that I don't know.
Daddy, you been on my mind.

When you wake up in the mornin′ baby look inside your mirror. You know I won't be next to you. You know I won′t be near.
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on her mind.
Daddy, you been on my mind.
