[Verse 1]
I gave my heart and soul to you, boy
Didn't I do it, baby?
Didn't I do it, baby?
I gave you the love that you never ever knew, boy
Didn't I do that, baby?
Didn't I do that, baby?

[Pre-Chorus]
I've cried so many times and that's no lie (I've cried so many times and that's no lie)
It seems to make you laugh each time I cry (It seems to make you laugh each time I cry)
Baby, can you dig it?

[Chorus]
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I?
(Yes you did, yes you did, yes you did)
And tell me, didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I?
(Yes you did, yes you did, yes you did)

[Verse 2]
I thought that love of yours was true, boy
Didn't I think that, baby?
You know that I thought that, baby
But this time I am really leavin' you, boy
Don't you know that, baby?
I know you know that, baby
