I betcha you left for work 'bout 10 minutes late

you didnt even wear the dress I bought

didnt eat at our favorite spot

baby, you found a new place

so I'm sittin here at the same time

pickin' up the pieces you left behind

oh, now god knows that I miss your face

cant help it wonder what it takes

to get back in your life



-chorus-

girl, how often do you think of me

how often do I enter your mind girl

is there ever a time

how often do you cry for me

I cry for you like all the time

and I wonder if I ever cross your mind



your mind, your mind

your mind, your mind...



girl I thought what we had was so strong

that's why it lasted so long

you couldnt find yourself a better man

that's why I just dont understand it

why you're not here



-chorus-

girl, how often do you think of me

how often do I enter your mind girl

is there ever a time

how often do you cry for me

I cry for you like all the time

and I wonder if I ever cross your mind



I've got to get back to you

reasons are so clear

I know that I cant live without you

now that you're not here

I'm saving everythin I got

I'm holdin on to you

we were wrong to let things go

I need to know if you still love me



-chorus-

how often do you think of me

how often do I enter your mind girl

is there ever a time

how often do you cry for me

I cry for you like all the time

and I wonder if I ever cross your mind



-repeat chorus-
