Millie Jackson & Isaac Hayes – You Never Cross My Mind lyrics

ISAAC: Now see here why y'all calling me?
We both agreed it was gonna be a one-time thing, no strings attached.
I go my way and you go yours and look what happened.
MILLIE: Yeah, but...

I lay there every night where you loved me
And I'm used to nights that go by slow.
And I wake up every morning while you left me
Wondering which way the day is gonna go,

But you never cross my mind,
Though I cry from time to time.
No, you never cross my mind.
You just stay there all the time.
I got a letter from you.
You promised me you wasn't gonna do that.

But from time to time, my eyes found a picture,
The very one I forgot to put away. Hmmm.
Just another memory trying to make me miss you
And I got one more about you in my mind,

But you never cross my mind,
Though I cry from time to time.
No, you never cross my mind,
But you just stay there all the time.

MILLIE: You know why I'm calling you.
I wanna know why you wrote to me.
ISAAC: Well, I-I-I just wanted to say hi.
MILLIE: I can understand that, 'cause...

Now and then, a friend will say they saw you
And I said what could all that matter to me.
You know what, late at night when I'm content with being lonely,
I get this unwanted visit from old misery.

And that's why, that's why you never cross my mind.
And you never cross my mind.
No, you never cross my mind.
You just stay there (Stay there), stay there (Stay there) all the time.
I said you never, never cross my mind,
Even though I find myself crying from time to time.
I don't care what you say, I know you never cross my mind. (Oh no.)
Stay there (Stay there), stay there all the time.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, eh, hey, eh, eh, eh, eh.
Never cross my mind.
I think about you from time to time to time.
You know I think about you too, baby.
