I've Already Loved You In My Mind

(album: Honky Tonk Heroes - 1978)

I thought I've never seen a girl like her in here before
And I could see her watching me as I walk across the floor
I asked her if she'd like to dance when the band starts up again
She said I never danced with strangers I don't even know your name

I said we're not exactly strangers you and I
My thoughts were running wild and free as I watched you tonight
Just think about it and you'll find
We're not exactly strangers I've already loved you in my mind

The band started playing a slow moving song
I got up and easily slipped into my arms
He kept right on saying the things a girl likes to hear
And when the dance was over I whispered in his ear

I said we're not exactly strangers you and I
My thoughts were running wild and free while you held me tight
I thought about it and I find
We're not exactly strangers I've already loved you in my mind
We're not exactly strangers I've already loved you in my mind
