One Thing On My Mind

(album: Phyllis Hyman - 1977)

I don't need the country
Homemade dinners on Sunday
Talks with your little brother
Or your mother, baby
Won't send you no flowers
Sweet talk you for hours
Love means no disguises
Just surprises, baby

[Chorus:]
Just one thing on my mind
A magical ride on a sweet sensation
Love can be so fine and I got the time
Honey, let's not waste it

Some ladies would tease you
Talk about how to please you
Spend your love or your money
It ain't funny, baby
I don't need the nightlife
All this glitter and bright lights
I can get satisfaction
From distractions, baby

[Repeat chorus]

Boy, you never can touch the stars above
Till you're taking the time to fly
And the quickest way to the heart of love
Is by looking it in the eye
Looking it in the eye
Ohhhhhhhh, oh yeah

[Repeat chorus twice]

Let's not waste it
Got one minute to make it last
Ohhh, ain't gonna waste the time
Gonna make it last, ooh, just one more time
(One thing on my mind, a magical ride with you)
One thing on my mind
Come on, take that ride with me
(One thing on my mind, a magical ride with you)
Come on, let's fly
Come go with me, yeah, oh yeah

[Repeat chorus 'til fade]
