State of Mind Songtext
von Kevin Johnson

Yes there was a time
I thought that love was something deep inside
Something more or less within ourselves
That couldn′t be denied
And I thought anything could happen
Our tomorrows could be gone
But the feelings deep inside us would go on

I suppose I must have heard the tale
A thousand times before
Of this love that comes to each of us
To last forever more
And so it's really no surprise
After hearing how it ought to be
That I really thought you′d go on wanting me


Now I see your love was just a game
I'll go on living just the same
There's nothing else for me to do
Now I′ll have the sense to save my time
I′ll leave my foolish days behind
'Cause loving you has made me wiser
Made me stop to realise, and
Now I see it very clearly
Love is just a state of mind

I used to think I′d always have you standing by my side
'Cause I thought the feelings in you
Were too strong to be denied
And I thought anything could happen
Our tomorrows could be gone
But the feelings deep inside us would go on

Now I see your love was just a lie
I′ll go on living till I die
Perhaps I'll even get to like it
Now I′ll light my lamp and drink my wine
I'll leave my foolish days behind
'Cause loving you has made me wiser
Made me stop to realise, and
Now I see it very clearly
Love is just a state of mind


Now I see your love was just a game
I′ll go on living just the same
′Cause loving you has made me wiser
Made me stop to realise, and
Now I see it very clearly
Love is just a state of mind

Now I know your love was nothing
But a lie and I'll tell you why
Now I′ve got the sense to realise
What was there before my eyes
