Lyrics

Head

[Verse 1]

I know you had a long day

Ran a bath with the Calgon and take you away

You know I can't cook, so I made a bowl of soup

Rub your feet on the futon and TIVO soup's

I know sometimes you feel alone

Like you against the world tryna make it on your own

So let me take away that stress

Just escape for the moment and let your problems rest

I mean I'll really pay attention

Tell me 'bout that bitch you hate, and this time I really listen

Cause today's 'bout you

Wanna see that pretty smile, so what you wanna do?

Go to the movies, plan next day shopping?

Play Maxwell 'till the cops come knockin'?

And we still won't stop

You got my head goin', that's why I give it, don't stop

[Hook]

I can't get you outta my mind, so

Come with me and just spend some time

I can't get you outta my head

Say I can't get you outta my head

Get you outta my head...

Say I can't get you outta my mind, so

Come with me and just spend some time

I can't get you outta my head

Say I can't get you outta my head

Get you outta my head...

[Verse 2]

I know that life can be a bitch

Let's plan a vacation, take a far trip

Take you out the D, away from all the city fumes

Leave your job behind, don't even worry 'bout school

We can spend the night on the beach

Playin' in the sand, watchin' waves, 'till we sleep

Wake up in the morning, eat breakfast on the rooftop

94 degrees, have you sweatin' in your tube top

And let the problems come back

You got my head goin', that's why I keep coming back

Waist so little, but that ass so fat

Gotta nigga gone girl, now how you do that?

I know this world can get you down

So when you feeling bothered girl, call on Brown

Even doe I'm chasin' this bread

I can't get you outta my head

[Outro]
