Lyrics
WHEN I DON'T THINK ABOUT YOU
Michael Laidley, Sam Cooper ©2012
615-469-4067 jericat@yahoo.com
When I don't think about you,
I'm thinkin' 'bout huntin',
I've gotta shoot somethin',
To hang on the wall,
When I don't think about you,
I'm thinkin' 'bout poker,
Playin' with some jokers,
Drinkin' and havin' a ball.
Chorus
But I'm distracted by your sparkling eyes.
I'm the world's most luckiest guy.
I mostly admit only one thing is true,
That I cannot not think about you.
When I don't think about you,
I'm thinkin' about fishin'
I'm on a mission,
To catch the world's largest bass.
When I don't think about you,
I'm thinkin' 'bout NASCAR,
Playin' my gui-tar,
While smokin' my stash.
Repeat chorus
Bridge
This morning when I had a faraway look,
You asked me what was on my mind.
If you thought I was thinkin' 'bout some other girl,
I was thinkin' 'bout breakfast the whole time.
When I don't think about you,
I'm thinkin' 'bout football,
Going to the pool hall,
Or riding a bull.
When I don't think about you,
I'm thinkin' about buffets,
Tuna and mayonnaise,
I never get full.
Repeat chorus
Outro
I mostly admit only one thing is true,
That I cannot not think about you.
That I cannot not think about you.
That I cannot not think about you.
