Lyrics

[Intro: Isaac Hayes & Millie Jackson] Now, see here, you're calling me... We both agreed that it was gonna be a one-night thing No strings attached I go my way and you go your's And look what happened Yeah, but... [Verse 1: Millie Jackson] 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, where you left me Wondering which way the day is gonna go [Chorus: Millie Jackson] 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 [Post-Chorus: Millie Jackson] I got a letter from you, you promised me you weren't gon' do that... [Verse 2: Isaac Hayes] But, from time to time, my eyes found your picture The very one I forgot to put away, yeah Just another memory trying to make me miss you And I find one more reminder every day [Chorus: Isaac Hayes] 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 [Post-Chorus: Millie Jackson & Isaac Hayes] You wanna know why I'm calling you... I wanna know – why you wrote me? Well, I-I-I just wanted to say hi I can understand that, 'cause... [Verse 3: Millie Jackson & Isaac Hayes] Now and then, a friend will say they saw you And I say, "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 [Chorus: Millie Jackson, (Isaac Hayes) & together] (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 [Outro Millie Jackson & (Isaac Hayes)] Hey! Hey, eh, hey, eh, hey, eh, 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...)
