Lyrics

There's a man on my mind

Expressing the presence of someone occupying the singer's thoughts.

And he sure isn't mine

Acknowledging that the person in the singer's thoughts doesn't belong to them.

And you know what, that's alright

Accepting the situation and expressing contentment despite unrequited feelings.

I'll stay up a little longer

Committing to staying awake for a little longer, perhaps lost in contemplation.

Dance around the room

Engaging in a physical activity, dancing, to distract from or enhance thoughts of the person.

Till I'm dizzy with the thought of you

Describing the intensity of the thoughts, causing dizziness while dancing.

I won't lie

Admitting honesty about occasional loneliness.

I get lonely sometimes

Expressing the common human experience of feeling lonely at times.

I enjoy my own company

Finding value in being alone and enjoying one's own company.

It's quite worthwhile

Highlighting the worthiness of spending time alone for personal growth.

To spend some time

Emphasizing the importance of solitary moments.

Alone

Expressing the singer's state of being alone.

But I'm unfocused

Acknowledging a lack of focus, possibly due to preoccupation with thoughts.

Started seven ideas today

Indicating the initiation of multiple ideas but lacking a favorite.

None are my favorite

Reflecting on the unfulfilled creative process of the day.

Went for a walk

Describing a physical activity, a walk, undertaken during the day.

I was constantly chasing my thoughts

Expressing the challenge of focusing during the walk due to persistent thoughts.


And oo, even the thought of you

Conveying the emotional impact of thinking about the person, leading to emotional disarray.

Sends me to pieces, pieces, pieces

Reiterating the overwhelming emotional response to thoughts of the person.

And oo, even the thought of you

Emphasizing the profound effect of contemplating the person on the singer's emotions.

Sends me to pieces, pieces, pieces

Repeating the theme of being emotionally affected by thoughts of the person.
