Honey Cone - Sweet Replies

My Mind's on Leaving, But My Heart Won't Let Me Go

The cab driver blowin'
And my bags are all packed
As I start towards the door
My heart keeps pulling me back
My mind's on leaving (my mind's on leaving)
But my heart won't let me go (my heart won't let me go)

'Cause the picture hung us on the wall (the picture hung on the wall)
Brings back memories of how love used to be (ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
And just (and just like I) like I've done before (done before)
I turn and close the door (ooh-ooh), hate myself once more (ooh, ooh)

I ran to my room (ran to room), fell across the bed (falling bed)
Tears on a pillow, I wish that I were dead
My heart knows (my heart knows how much) how much I love you (I love you)
But I hate the agony you put me through
What ever happened to the plans that we made?
All I'm living on is a little love I saved

Yes, you would (you would locked me) locked me out your life (out your life)
We no longer share (ooh-ooh) 'cause you no longer care (ooh, ooh)
The past (the past keeps me hangin') keeps me hangin' on (to the love you gave)
To the love you gave (ooh-ooh), the love I still prayed (ooh, ooh)
Mm-hmm-mm, mm-hmm-mm
I hate, I need ya

Each day, it takes (each day it takes) a little bit more of me (more of me)
My mind's no longer a part of me
My heart can't forget (my heart can't forget) how love used to be (used to be)
And I'm holding on to sweet memories
What ever happened to the plans that we made?
All I'm living on is a little love I saved

The cab driver blowin' (ooh-ooh-ooh)
And my bags are all packed
As I start towards the door
My heart keeps pulling me back

My mind on leaving (my mind's on leaving)
But my heart won't let me go (my heart won't let me go)
My mind on leaving (my mind's on leaving)
But my heart won't let me go (my heart won't let me go)
