Lyrics
I can feel it floating away
Inch by inch, day by day
Love boat set itself free
Castaway, slipping out to sea
I can feel it coming adrift
Even a blind man could see the rift
From an ocean liner to a Chinese junk
There ain't been a ship that can't be sunk
I used to dream it could last forever
But my dreams never come true
I'd be foolin' myself if I never
Thought something like this couldn't happen to you
I said baby
You've got a man on your mind
You've got a weight on your shoulders
How you ever gonna find the words to say goodbye
You don't know
Just what you got 'til it's gone
I guess you heard that a lot, but it's true
It's not just a game
You can't change your life by changing your name
It's not something you can hide away
Sooner or later, it starts to show
It's written on your face you've been betrayed
Do you really believe that I don't know?
I said, baby
You've got a man on your mind
You've got a weight on your shoulders
How you ever gonna find the words to say
(Goodbye)
He's already fallen
So it's no use to fight
And if he starts callin'
Let him know you're with me
For the rest of the night
Ooh, I said baby
You've got a man on your mind
(Got a man on your mind)
You've got a weight on your shoulders
How you ever gonna find the words to say goodbye
Baby
(Please listen to me, baby)
You've got a man on your mind
(Gotta get that man off your mind)
You've got a weight on your shoulders (weight on your shoulder)
How you ever gonna find the words to say goodbye
Baby
(Ooh, baby, baby, baby)
You've got a man on your mind
(You got that man on your mind)
You've got a weight on your shoulders (shoulders)
How you ever gonna find the words to say
Goodbye
Baby
(Ooh, baby)
You've got a man on your mind
(You got that man on your mind)
You've got a weight on your shoulders (weight on your shoulders)
How you ever gonna find the words to say
Goodbye, baby
