Afro Strut

by: Amp Fiddler

'Cause everythin' [Incomprehensible]
You the one I've been dreamin' of
Baby, you've gone away
Say you'll never come back again
And I know that
If I don't think 'bout you
I'll be sad, yeah
If I don't stop thinkin' about you
I'll be mad
If I don't not think about you
I'll be glad
'Cause if I don't think about you
Everythin' all around is kinda blue
And girl, you know
Our life is gonna change
And if you leave, leave alone
I will never call you up again
And deep inside you know that
If I don't think 'bout you
I'll be sad, yeah
If I don't stop thinkin' 'bout you
I'll be mad, yeah
If I don't not think 'bout you
I'll be glad, yeah
You'll be out of my life
Baby, we are in love
And if I don't think 'bout you
I'll be sad, oh
If I don't think 'bout you
I'll be glad
If I don't stop thinkin' 'bout you
I'll lose my mind
'Cause baby, you leave me out of sight
And I'll be away from your life, movin' on
'Cause if I don't stop thinkin' about you
I'll be sad, oh
If I don't stop thinkin' 'bout you
If I don't not think about you
I'll be sad
If I don't
