Mind on My Man
Soulful Musings: Carly Simon's Ode to Love and Yearning
Lyrics
I've got my mind on my man
I've got my mind focused on my partner
I've got my man on my mind
My partner occupies my thoughts
He's everything to me, he's somthin' more special
He means everything to me and holds a special significance
Than any amount of lookin's gonna find
No matter how much searching I do, I won't find anyone better than him
I'm not hooked on any her from an idle dream
I'm not infatuated with anyone else from a passing fantasy
But I'm idly dreaming of him
However, I daydream about him
He's a lotus, that opens and closes
He's elusive, sometimes distant or inaccessible
Notice he won't always let me in
He doesn't always allow me into his inner world
So my mind is on my man, got my man on my mind
So, I keep thinking about my partner, he's always on my mind
Sometimes he's sleepy
Sometimes he seems disinterested or unresponsive
And I don't think he loves me
During those times, I doubt his love for me
I worry about his lovin'
I'm anxious about whether he truly loves me
Ain't I crazy?
I question my sanity for feeling this way
He's a Northern baby and a Southern child
He embodies characteristics from different backgrounds
He's a gentleman lost at the fair
He's a well-mannered person who feels lost or out of place in certain situations
He's a cowboy gettin' drunk at the Plaza
He can behave recklessly or carefreely in unexpected places
He has a place in my heart anywhere
He has a significant place in my affections, regardless of circumstance
And my mind is on my man, got my man on my mind
Continuing to have him constantly in my thoughts
