Stayin` Up Late (thinkin` About It) Lyrics

I've been stayin' up late

Just a thinkin' about

Ways to get you off my mind.



I keep wanderin' around

Through all the lonely

Parts of town

To try and see

If I might could ever find

One last hope

That I could cling to

In case I make the break through

And finally get you off my mind.



I tried givin' up dreamin'

But your memory kept schemin'

And found all kinda ways

To sneak back into my sleep

I finally quit talkin' to strangers

Out of fear there's always

The danger

They say hi, hello,

Or somethin' else

You might'a said to me.



I've been stayin' up late

Just a thinkin' about

Ways to get you off my mind.



--- Instrumental ---



I keep wanderin' around

Through all the lonely

Parts of town

To try and see if I might

Could ever find

One last hope

That I could cling to

In case I make the break through

And finally get you off my mind.



I swore to never

Get caught looken

At a single picture

That was tookin'

Of us or anywhere we ever went

Or ever even seen

I don't dare watch the news

'Cause the wrecks

And the crashes

Can remind me too

That I used to ride around

And go places

In cars with you.



I've been stayin' up late

Just a thinkin' about

Ways to get you off my mind.



I keep stayin' up late

Just thinkin' about

Ways to get you off my mind...
