Your body's here with me, but your mind is on the other side of town.

You're messing me around.

Your body's here with me, but your mind is on the other side of town.

You're messing me around.

I thought you told me you'd straighten out your life.

When we agreed to try it one more time.

It would be my job to work and protect you.

And you would make our home life sublime.

But I keep hearing you cry after midnight.

While the whole world is still.

And I know the reason you had to come home.

It gives you plenty thrills, but I don't want to pay the bills.

You know your body's here with me, but your mind is on the other side of town.

You're messing me around.

Your body's here with me, but your mind is on the other side of town.

You're messing me around, fooling around.

You never deny me, but it kind of hurts me bad.

Cause you never ever call my name.

All I try to do, I just can't break through.

I just can't make it feel the same.

I did all I could do to hold you close.

Did my level best to lock you straight up and down.

And it's getting plain to see, your place is not for me.

When you get the urge to get down, you go to the other side of town.

You know your body's here with me, but your mind is on the other side of town.

Cross town.

Getting on down.

Your body!

Your body!

Getting on down, getting on down.

Your body's here with me, but your mind is on the other side of town.

You're messing me around.

I can't make it feel the same.

Your body!

I'm in love.

With not only your body pain, but your mind, your mind, your mind.

Your body's here with me, but your mind is on the other side of town.

I'm the one who pays the bills.

He's the one who gives you plenty of thrills.

Your body's here with me, but your mind is way on the other side of town.

Your mind is fooling around, fooling around.

Your body!

Your body's here with me.
