On My Mind
Regretful Reflections: On My Mind by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
Lyrics
Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could have
Expressing regret for not expressing love frequently enough.
Maybe I didn't treat you quite as good as I should have
Acknowledging shortcomings in treating the person well.
If I made you feel second best, girl, I'm sorry I was blind
Apologizing for making the person feel less valued or important.
You were always on my mind
Affirming that the person was always in the singer's thoughts.
You were always on my mind
Reiterating that the person was always on the singer's mind.
Maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely, lonely times
Admitting to not providing enough physical and emotional support.
And I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that you're mine
Expressing happiness about the person being in the singer's life.
Little things I should have said and done
Regretting not saying and doing small things that could have mattered.
I just never took the time
Acknowledging a lack of time investment in the relationship.
You were always on my mind (You were always on my mind)
Reaffirming that the person was always in the singer's thoughts.
You were always on my mind
Reiterating that the person was always on the singer's mind.
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Requesting assurance that the person's love hasn't diminished.
And give me
Continuation of the plea for assurance and commitment.
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied, satisfied
Pleading for another chance to make the person happy.
Little things I should have said and done
Reiterating regret for not expressing love and doing small things.
I just never took the time
Emphasizing the lack of time investment in the relationship.
You were always on my mind (You were always on my mind)
Reaffirming that the person was always in the singer's thoughts.
You were always on my mind
Reiterating that the person was always on the singer's mind.
Yeah
Affirming the lasting presence of the person in the singer's thoughts.
