WHAT I'VE GOT IN MIND
Kenny O'Dell

as recorded by Billy Jo Spears
1976


There's a million things that we could do this evenin',
With all the nightlife and the silver screen;
Oh, we've got time and we could take the town in,
Or take a fast jet, baby, down to New Orleans!

But what I've got in mind is a small cafe,
Out of the way!
Oh but baby, let's don't stay,
No and be too late!
What I've got in mind is to disappear,
Or maybe just stay right here!
Oh, to tell the truth, what I've got in mind
Is makin' love to you!

Well I confess, and you can find me guilty,
I'm a selfish lover, I can't deny!
But I love you and I don't want to share you
With any night lights, or darlin', any other's eyes!

But what I've got in mind is a small cafe,
Out of the way!
Oh baby, let's don't stay,
No and be too late!
What I've got in mind is to disappear,
Or maybe just stay right here!
Oh, to tell the truth, what I've got in mind
Is makin' love to you!
Oh, to tell the truth, what I've got in mind
Is makin' love to you!
