Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, it's been a long, long time
Looks like to get you off my mind
But I can't
Just the thought of you, ooh, babe, just the thought of you
Turns my whole world a misty blue
[Verse 2]
Just the mention, just the mention of your name, yeah
Turns a flicker to a flame
Listen to me good
I think of the things, oh, I think of the things we used to do
And thats when my whole world, oh, my whole world turns misty blue
[Verse 3]
I should forget you, heaven knows I've tried
But when I say I'm glad we're through
My heart, my heart knows I've lied
Hehe, I've lied
Oh, I'm glad we're through
Yes, but my heart knows, my heart knows I've lied
[Verse 4]
Just the mention, just the mention of, of your name, yeah
Turns a flicker to a flame
Listen to me good
I think of the things, I think of things we used to do, yeah
That's when my whole world, my whole world turns misty blue
[Verse 5]
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 6]
And I, I should forget you, heaven knows, heaven knows I've tried
But when I say I'm glad we're through
That's when my heart knows, that's when my heart knows that I've lied
And I've lied, and I've lied
[Verse 7]
Oh, oh, it's been such a long, long, long, long time, baby
Looks like I'll get you, I'm gonna get you off of my mind
But I can't, oh, no
Just the thought of you
Just the thought of you turns my whole world
It turns my whole world
Just the thought of you, just to think of you
The thought of you turns my whole world misty, misty blue
