Can't Get Her Off Their Mind
No band, just me and I'm no performer
Lyrics
CAN"T GET HER OFF THEIR MIND
©Ricki E. Bellos
Another pot luck dinner, she arrives right on time
With her dish to pass and bottle of red, red wine
She always comes by herself, tonight she'll leave just the same
Says a friend of a friend, it wasn't always that way
When the women go home
They'll remember that she danced alone
The men, her wistful smile
And her scent, and they'll wonder why
They can't get her off
Can't get her off their mind
She's not pretty in the usual way, not the belle of the ball
Dressed in all the colors of her garden, her hair wild and long
Sometimes someone will stare, standing off to the side
Lurk at the desserts, check her out from behind
When the women go home
They'll recall she hardly spoke to anyone
The men, the curve of her back
The music in her laugh, and try to ignore the fact
They can't get her off
Can't get her off their mind
They can't get her off
Can't get her off their mind
Everybody knows her
No one knows what makes her cry
Everybody sees her
No one ever looks her in the eye
They can't get her off
Can't get her off their mind
They can't get her off
Can't get her off their mind
Can't get her off
Can't get her off their mind
