Hello  good looking  is this seat tooken
 On the A train  picking at her brain
 I couldn't get her number  I couldn't get her name
 I said I still like your style of fashion
 But I hate your hostile  'itty attitude wit a passion
 Is it because brothers like to hawk alot
 Is it because your sign don't talk alot
 She turned away  no play  I said ok
 You don't really look good, I hope you have a bad day
 Sat back, relaxed though the ride was tight
 I was thinking of the rhymes I wrote last night
 Next stop was mine, a familar scene
 I was meeting my friend, killer Ben in Ft Green
 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
 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
 I took a peek, it was the girl from the train behind me
 Did she live in the area, was she trying to find me?
 Hm, I didn't wanna play myself out
 I played it off, stopped and I bought a Guiness Stout
 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
 i said if we're playing games then we're gonna play mine
 I'm a lay the rules 'cause it ain't much time
 If you hide your feelings, and they hard to find,
 I wanna know what's on your mind

 CHORUS

 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
 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
 Now how does it feel when my mental, massage ya temple
 Telephone's hot from the vibes that I sent you
 Now tell me your inner thoughts and deepest emotions
 Next you see ectacy's explosions
 Now I'm coming to see you to spend some time
 I'm a romantic warrior but is it a crime
 And if you hide your feelings and they hard to find...

 I wanna know what's on your mind
 I wanna know what's on your mind

 Now it's been months and it's smooth and lovely
 I'm in your head so you'll be thinking of me
 So we met in Queens and went to Valley Streams
 And, uh, couldn't remember the movie we just seen
 But it's Wednesday, take the train uptown
 How do the 125th street sound

 Amateur night, Showtime at the Apollo
 Probably be watching Bill Cosby tomorrow
 Then after that get into it, I mean intimate
 Every word is an instrument
 Making sounds and tones and songs and moans
 My lips so close to your ear, it's like headphones
 You smile, you said you never know what the day will bring
 It's always a new song to sing
 The next day I went back to the her rest
 Knocked on the door, intentions: finesse
 She let me in and had nothing but a neglige on
 Smelling like Liz Claiborne
 I sat down and got comfortable and watched the Huxtables
 She sat next to me and said what's up wit you
 I got the feeling for sexual healing
 A mental healing ; how you feeling
 She caught the effect and said she feel the same
 Could you massage my intellect and stop the pain
 Desire's yearning, the fire's burning
 You hot 'cause it's alot you're learning
 Now I'm ready to explore you inner world
 It's take a long time cuz I'm just beginning, girl...
 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
 'Cause now I know what's on your mind...
 'Cause now I know what's on your mind
