Lyrics

I gave my heart and soul to you, girl 
(Now didn’t I do it, baby, didn’t I do it, baby?) 
Gave you the love you never knew, girl, oh 
(Didn’t I do it baby, didn’t I do it baby?) 
I’ve cried so many times and that’s no lie 
It seems to make you laugh each time I cry 

[Chorus:]
Didn’t I blow your mind this time 
Didn’t I 
Didn’t I blow your mind this time 
Didn’t I, this time? 

I thought that heart of yours was true, girl 
(Now, didn’t I think it, baby, didn’t I think it, baby?) 
But this time I’m really leaving you girl, oh 
(Hope you know it, baby, hope you know it, baby) 

Ten times or more, yes, I walked out that door 
Get this into your head, there’ll be no more 

[Chorus:]

(Didn’t I do it baby, didn’t I do it baby?) 
(Didn’t I do it baby, didn’t I do it baby?) 

Ten times or more, yes, I walked out that door 
Get this into your head, there’ll be no more 

[Chorus Ad lib :]

[Spoken: ]
Girl, can we talk for a second? 
(Baby can we talk) 
I know it’s been a long time 
Since someone blew your mind, like I did 
(Ooh, baby) 
But there’ll be other times 
(Didn’t I blow your mind it happens all the time) 
For me and you 
(All the time)(Ooh, baby) 
And I can see the tears fallin’ from your eyes 
(I can see the tears falling from your eyes) 
Tell me girl did I blow your mind? 

[Chorus and fade:]
