Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's a little dirty how the whole thing started
I don't even really know what you intended
Thought that you were cute and you could make me jealous
Poured it down, so I poured it down
Next thing that I know, I'm in a hotel with you
You were talkin' deep like it was mad love to you
You wanted my heart, but I just liked your tattoos
Poured it down, so I poured it down
[Verse 2]
And now I don't understand it
You don't mess with love, you mess with the truth
And I know I shouldn't say it
But my heart don't understand
[Verse 3]
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my
But my heart don't understand
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
[Verse 4]
Why I got you, deep like it
Why I got you, deep like it
Why I got you, deep like it
Why I got you, deep like it
Why I got you, deep like it
Why I got you, deep like it
Why I got you, deep like it
Why I got you, deep like it
[Verse 5]
Now I always hear, always hear them talkin'
Talkin' 'bout a girl, 'bout a girl with my name
Sayin' that I hurt you, but I still don't get it
You didn't love me, no, not really
Wait, I could've really liked you
I bet, I bet that's why I keep on thinkin' 'bout you
It's a shame, you said I was good
So I poured it down, so I poured it down
[Verse 6]
And now I don't understand it
You don't mess with love, you mess with the truth
And I know I shouldn't say it
But my heart don't understand
[Verse 7]
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my
But my heart don't understand
Why I got you on my mind
[Verse 8]
Why I got you, deep like it
(You think you know somebody)
Why I got you, deep like it
Why I got you, deep like it
(You think you know somebody)
Why I got you, deep like it
Why I got you on my mind
(You think you know somebody)
Why I got you, deep like it
Why I got you, deep like it
Why I got you, deep like it
(Why I got you on my mind)
Why I got you, deep like it
[Verse 9]
You've got yourself in a dangerous zone
'Cause we both have the fear, fear of bein' alone
And I still don't understand it
You don't mess with love, you mess with the truth
And my heart don't understand it
Understand it, understand it
[Verse 10]
Why I got you on my mind
(You think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind
(You think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind
(You think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind
But my heart don't understand
Why I got you on my mind
[Verse 11]
(You think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind
Oh, oh-oh (You think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind
(You think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my
But my heart don't understand
Why I got you on my mind
[Verse 12]
(You think you know somebody)
(You think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind
(You think you know somebody)
