[Intro — soft hums / ad-libs]
Ooh… yeah…
Baby…
Mmm…
You stay on my mind…
All the time…
[Verse 1]
Soon as I open up my eyes in the morning light
First thing on my brain, yeah baby, it’s you every time
Before my feet even touch the floor
I’m already thinking ‘bout you more and more
Grab my phone, yeah I know what I do
Scrolling through pictures just staring at you
Caught myself smiling like a fool again
Damn… look at the shape I’m in
Your smile got me weak, got me losing control
Didn’t see it coming, but you captured my soul
I tried to play it cool, but that fell apart
‘Cause from the very start, you stole my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
And when we ain’t talking
My whole mood changes
Everything feels off
Baby, I hate it
Missing you crazy
More than you know
How’d you get this deep inside my soul?
[Chorus]
You stay running through my mind
All day, all night, every single time
From the morning sun
Till the stars all shine
Baby, you stay on my mind
When I’m not talking to you
I swear I don’t know what to do
I miss you like crazy, baby it’s true
My heart keeps running back to you
You stay on my mind…
Yeah… all the time
You stay on my mind…
Baby, all the time
[Verse 2]
Middle of the day and I’m thinking again
Reading old messages, replaying them
Every little word got me grinning wide
Got butterflies I can’t even hide
I swear your energy different, boy
You bring me peace, you bring me joy
Ain’t no forcing, it just feels right
You cross my thoughts all day and night
Don’t know what magic you got on me
But baby you got me so effortlessly
Never thought someone could make me feel
Something this strong, something this real
[Pre-Chorus]
And when you go quiet
I start missing your voice
Out of everybody
Baby, you’re my choice
Got me so gone
No, I can’t lie
You live rent-free inside my mind
[Chorus]
You stay running through my mind
All day, all night, every single time
From the morning sun
Till the stars all shine
Baby, you stay on my mind
When I’m not talking to you
I swear I don’t know what to do
I miss you like crazy, baby it’s true
My heart keeps running back to you
[Bridge — vocal runs / harmonies build]
How you do that?
How you got me this bad?
Wasn’t looking for love
But somehow love found me fast
You came in and stole my heart
Right from the start
Now every beat, every thought
Baby… there you are
[Breakdown — stacked harmonies]
On my mind…
(On my mind, on my mind)
Every second, every minute
Boy, you’re in it
On my mind…
(Can’t get enough of you)
Even when I close my eyes
I still see you
[Final Chorus — bigger, emotional]
You stay running through my mind
All day, all night, every single time
From the morning sun
Till the stars all shine
Baby, you stay on my mind
When I’m not talking to you
I swear I don’t know what to do
I miss you like crazy, baby it’s true
My heart keeps running back to you
[Outro — fade with ad-libs]
Yeah…
You stay on my mind…
Can’t stop thinking ‘bout you…
No, no…
From morning… till night…
Baby… all the time…
Mmm…
