Lyrics Curtis Mayfield

Curtis Mayfield

The Girl I Find Stays On My Mind

Here's another girl

And I am afraid that she'll be gone

Like the others before her

And here's another chance

To make myself belong

And this time I wanna keep her

For this girl I find

Stays on my mind

She has opened up my eyes

As though I were blind

Oh Lord, I must find the strength somewhere

For I find I really care

And today's opportunity has at last

Found someone to share

The things I wouldn't have dared

'Cause I never felt that were meant for me

But this girl I find

Stays on my mind

She has opened up my eyes

As though I were blind

This girl I find

Stays on my mind

She has opened up my eyes

As though I were blind

Oh Lord, I must find the strength somewhere

'Cause I find I really care

And today's opportunity has at last

Found someone to share

The things I wouldn't have dared

'Cause I never felt that were meant for me

And here's another girl

And I am afraid that she'll be gone

Like the others before her

Here's another chance

To make myself belong

And this time I wanna keep her

If she's really for me

If she's really for me

I am gonna wait and see

I am gonna wait and see

If she's really for me

If she's really for me

I am gonna wait and see

I love you, I love you

I am gonna wait and see

If you're really for me
