I've had my fun if I don't ever get well no more
I've had my fun if I don't ever get well no more
I know my health is failing me now
I know I'm goin' down slow
Won't somebody write my mother and tell her the shape I'm in
I want somebody to writet my mother and tell her the shape I'm in
I want you tell her to pray for me
Ask her to forgive me for all my sins
Mother please don't send me no doctor
a doctor can't do me no good
I don't want you to send me no doctor now
a doctor just can't do me no good
Back when I was a young boy oh
I just didn't do the things I should
Mmmm Mmmmmm
Mmmm MmmmmmI betcha you left for work 'bout 10 minutes late
you didnt even wear the dress I bought
didnt eat at our favorite spot
baby, you found a new place
so I'm sittin here at the same time
pickin' up the pieces you left behind
oh, now god knows that I miss your face
cant help it wonder what it takes
to get back in your life
-chorus-
girl, how often do you think of me
how often do I enter your mind girl
is there ever a time
how often do you cry for me
I cry for you like all the time
and I wonder if I ever cross your mind
your mind, your mind
your mind, your mind...
girl I thought what we had was so strong
that's why it lasted so long
you couldnt find yourself a better man
that's why I just dont understand it
why you're not here
-chorus-
girl, how often do you think of me
how often do I enter your mind girl
is there ever a time
how often do you cry for me
I cry for you like all the time
and I wonder if I ever cross your mind
I've got to get back to you
reasons are so clear
I know that I cant live without you
now that you're not here
I'm saving everythin I got
I'm holdin on to you
we were wrong to let things go
I need to know if you still love me
-chorus-
how often do you think of me
how often do I enter your mind girl
is there ever a time
how often do you cry for me
I cry for you like all the time
and I wonder if I ever cross your mind
-repeat chorus-
