Why Don’t You Think Things Over? Songtext
von Dinah Washington

Dynasty, I built your fantasy
Let you reign over me
Like a king in a palace
Obsession, I was your medicine
And you came after me
Live you couldn′t live without it
Like faith in the faithful
I was the loyal in your loyalty
I put my cards on your table
And I treated you like royalty

These are the things that you don't think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don′t think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don't think about
When you think about me
But you're gonna think about ′em when I′m gone


Savior, I always save your deft reputation
Stuck around when you were down
Together, I held you together
Kept you from caving
But now you're crumbling to the ground
I was the arm in your armor
I was the miss in your mistake
And you only make it harder on yourself when you walk away

These are the things that you don′t think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don't think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don′t think about
When you think about me
But you're gonna think about ′em when I'm gone

Gone, gone, gone

Like faith in the faithful
I was the loyal in your loyalty
I put my cards on your table
And I treated you like royalty

These are the things that you don't think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don′t think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don′t think about
When you think about me
But you're gonna think about ′em when I'm gone


These are the things that you don′t think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don't think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don′t think about
When you think about me
But you're gonna think about 'em when I′m gone

You′re gonna think about 'em
You′re gonna think about 'em, think about ′em
When I am gone
