Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts

You’re sittin here all wrapped up in my arms
But your mind seems to be a mile away
And now and then you say, “Mmm, hmm” and “Uh-huh”
When you don’t even known what I’m about to say

A penny for your thoughts, girl
Penny for your thoughts

Last night I called, they said you were out
I thought maybe you had gone to the grocery store
But now I know that you went away on a little bit farther
‘Cause I never saw you act this way before

A penny for your thoughts, girl
Penny for your thoughts

So bad I wanna ask you
What’s really on your mind
But I’m afraid of what the answer might be
Now I’ve always been told
That love is blind
But I’d rather be blind
Than to see you walk away from me, oh, baby

So I close my eyes to what I know is going on
Just as long as I know that it makes you happy
‘Cause in my eyes, girl, you can do no wrong
Just as long as you keep on giving your love to me

A penny for your thoughts, girl
A penny for your thoughts

Penny
Oh, I wanna know what you’re asking of
Penny for your thoughts
Oh, I wanna, I wanna know what’s on your mind
But I’m afraid of what the answer will be
Penny for thoughts, girl
Penny for thoughts
Oh, baby, baby, baby
Penny for thoughts
Just what’s on your mind, oh, I wanna know
