Close My Mind Close my mind, shout out the word Walk into my private Harlem, oh yeah No one there but you and me, girl And our love before our problems, oh yes There I kiss you with my mind, oh baby Over and over, time after time I've learned that the past is never far behind There's always something there to remind me Memories don't live like people do They always stay with you Whether they've been good or bad They're never something that you had Memories don't live like people do They always stay with you Whether they've been good or bad They're never something that you had People take all of your time I walk out of your life, I never heard you But a memory would never be that unkind I claim to be your friend and then desert you, oh no But I still find joy in all this pain Though your body's gone, your soul remains, oh baby Now the question is why, why did you leave me, girl? You could have been faithful as a memory, could you see? Memories don't live like people do They always stay with you Whether they've been good or bad They're never something that you had Memories don't live like people do They always stay with you Whether they've been good or bad They're never something that you had Oh, oh, my baby Oh, oh, I feel the same Please stay with me, honey I love you still, and I know just how you feel Ah, but I still find joy in all this pain Oh, I feel the same Though your body's gone, your soul remains Stay with me, honey But the question is why, why did you leave me, girl? Please forgive me You could have been faithful as a memory, could you see? Memories don't live like people do They always stay with you Whether they've been good or bad They're never something that you had Memories don't live like people do They always stay with you Whether they've been good or bad They're never something that you had Memories don't live like people do They always stay with you Whether they've been good or bad They're never something that you had
