[Verse 1]
(Wanted to know what's on your mind)
(You'd better think, you'd better think)
(I wanna know what's on your mind)
[Verse 2]
I seen her in the subway on my way to Brooklyn
Hello, good lookin', is this seat tooken?
On the A-train, pickin' at her brain
I couldn't get her number, I couldn't get her name
[Verse 3]
I said, I still like your style of fashion
But I hate your House of Diddy attitude with a passion
Is it because brothers like to hawk a lot?
Is it because your sign don't talk a lot?
[Verse 4]
She turned away, no play, I said okay
You don't really look good, I hope you have a bad day
Sat back, relaxed, though the ride was tight
I was thinkin' of the rhymes I wrote last night
[Verse 5]
Next stop was mine, a familiar scene
I was meetin' my friend, Killer Ben, in Fort Greene
Where the girls are real, they tell ya how they feel
If you're soft, you're soft, or if you're hard like steel
[Verse 6]
See, I don't bend, and I won't rust
And I don't break, and I won't bust
Stomped up the street and did I hear a treat?
Hard high heels tappin' on the concrete
[Verse 7]
I took a peek, it was the girl from the train behind me
Did she live in the area? Was she tryin' to find me?
Hm, I didn't wanna play myself out
I played it off, stopped, and I bought a Guinness Stout
[Verse 8]
Now was she shy? She didn't walk by
She came in the store, then she even said hi
Curiosity at a high velocity
Maybe possibly, she had the hots for me
[Verse 9]
I said, if we're playin' games, then we're gonna play mine
I'ma lay the rules, 'cause it ain't much time
If ya hide your feelin's, and they hard to find
I wanna know what's on your mind
[Verse 10]
(Wanna know what's on your mind)
(You'd better think, you'd better think)
(I wanna know what's on your mind)
[Verse 11]
About a week went by, and I called her (Hello)
I said, yo, can I speak to, um, she said no
Hey yo, I know I didn't call, I didn't wanna stress you
Go out my way to impress you, press to undress you
[Verse 12]
See, I wanna get to know you, so I can show you
What a strong relationship can grow to
But you gotta trust me, and you're gonna love me
Squeeze the phone and hug me, use your mind to rub me
[Verse 13]
Now how does it feel when my mental massage your temple?
Telephone's hot from the vibes that I sent you
Now tell me your inner thoughts and deepest emotions
Next you'll see ecstasy's explosions
[Verse 14]
Now I'm comin' to see you, to spend some time
I'm a romantic warrior, but is it a crime?
And if you hide your feelin's and they hard to find
(I wanna know what's on your mind) I wanna know what's on your mind
[Verse 15]
(You'd better think, wanted to know what's on your mind)
I wanna know what's on your mind
(You'd better think)
[Verse 16]
Now it's been months, and it's smooth and lovely
I'm in your head, so you'll be thinkin' of me
So we met in Queens and went to Valley Streams, and uh
Couldn't remember the movie we just seen
[Verse 17]
But it's Wednesday, take the train uptown
How do 125th Street sound?
Amateur night, showtime at the Apollo
Probably watch Bill Cosby tomorrow
[Verse 18]
Then after that, get into it, I mean intimate
Every word is an instrument
Makin' sounds and tones and songs and moans
My lips so close to your ear, it's like headphones
[Verse 19]
She smiled and said, you never know what the day will bring
It's always a new song to sing
The next day, I went back to her rest
Knocked on the door, intentions, finesse
[Verse 20]
She let me in and had nothin' but a negligee on
Smellin' like Liz Claiborne
I sat down and got comfortable and watched the Huxtables
She sat next to me and said what's up with you
[Verse 21]
I got the feelin' for sexual healin'
A mental healin', how you feelin'?
She caught the effect and said she feel the same
Could you massage my intellect and stop the pain?
[Verse 22]
Desire's yearnin', the fire's burnin'
You're hot 'cause it's a lot you're learnin'
Now I'm ready to explore your inner world
It takes a long time, 'cause I'm just beginnin', girl
[Verse 23]
Take it easy, cut off the TV, cut off the lights, use your mind to see me
Use your physical form if I'm hard to find
(Wanted to know what's on your mind)
'Cause now I know what's on your mind
[Verse 24]
'Cause now I know what's on your mind
[Verse 25]
(Wanted to know what's on your mind, you'd better think)
(You'd better think, I wanna know what's on your mind)
(You'd better think, you'd better think)
(Wanted to know what's on your mind, you'd better think)
(You'd better think)
(Wanted to know what's on your mind, you'd better think)
