How Often

(album: 24/7 - 1999)

I bet I know your day
I bet you left for work bout ten minutes late
You didn't even wear the dress I bought
Didn't eat at our favorite spot
Baby, you found a new place
So I'm sitting here at the same time
Picking up the pieces you left behind
Oh, now god knows that I miss your face
Can't help it wonder what it takes
Baby, o get back in your life

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 couldn't find yourself a better man
That's why I just don't understand it
Why you're not here

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 can't live without you
Now that you're not here
I'm saving everything I got
I'm holding on to you
We were wrong to let things go
I need to know if you still love me

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
