A Penny for Your Thoughts
Unveiling Silent Thoughts: A Penny for Your Mind
Lyrics
You're sittin' here, all wrapped up in my arms
You are physically close to me, but emotionally distant.
But your mind seems to be a mile away
Your thoughts seem far away despite our physical proximity.
And now and then you say um hm and aha
You respond with sounds like "um hm" and "aha" without understanding what I'm about to say.
When you don't even know what I'm about to say
You nod or agree without knowing the content of my words.
A penny for your thoughts, girl
I'd like to know what's on your mind.
A penny for your thoughts
A request to share your thoughts, emphasizing its value with a penny.
Last night I called, they said you were out
I called you last night, but you were not available.
I thought maybe you had gone to the grocery store
I assumed you went to the grocery store.
Now I know that you went on a lil' bit farther
Later realized you went farther than expected.
'Cause I never saw you act this way before
Your behavior is unusual and new to me.
A penny for your thoughts, girl
Repeating the request to share your thoughts, offering a penny.
A penny for your thoughts
Reiterating the value of knowing your thoughts with a penny.
So bad I wanna ask you what's really on your mind
I want to inquire about your thoughts but fear the answer.
But I'm afraid of what the answer might be
Concerned about the potential response, hesitant to ask.
Now I've always been told that love is blind
Reference to the saying "love is blind," implying uncertainty in the relationship.
But I'd rather be blind than see you walk on away from me
Prefer ignorance over witnessing you leaving.
So I close my eyes to what I know is goin' on
Choosing to ignore the reality of the situation.
Just as long as I know that it makes you happy
As long as you are happy, I can overlook the truth.
'Cause in my eyes, girl, you can do no wrong
You are perfect in my eyes despite the hidden issues.
Just as long as you keep on givin' your love to me
Your love is essential for my contentment.
A penny for your thoughts, girl
Repeated request to share your thoughts, seeking understanding.
A penny for your thoughts
Reiterating the offer to pay a penny for your thoughts.
Oh, I wanna know ?
An expression of curiosity and a desire to know.
A penny for your thoughts
Repeating the request with emphasis on wanting to know your thoughts.
Oh, I wanna know, I wanna know, what's on your mind
Expressing the strong desire to understand what's on your mind.
But I'm afraid of what the answer will be
Reiterating the fear of the potential answer to the inquiry.
Penny for your thoughts, girl
Offering to pay a penny for your thoughts again.
Penny for your thoughts
Reiterating the value of knowing your thoughts.
Penny for your thoughts
Last repetition of the request, emphasizing the value of your thoughts.
Tell me what's on your mind
A direct plea to share what's on your mind.
