Curious Mind
Curtis Mayfield
Walkin' through the park,
It wasn't quite dark
There was a man sittin' on a bench;
Out of the crowd,
With his head lowly bowed,
He'd just moan and it made no sense
He'd just go:
Um, um, um, um, um, um...
Um, um, um, um, um, um...
I just couldn't help myself,
Guess I was born with a curios mind;
I asked this man, just what did he mean
When he moaned, if he'd be so kind
And he'd just go:
Um, um, um, um, um, um...
Um, um, um, um, um, um ...
Now that I've grown up
And the woman I love, she has gone;
Now that I'm a man,
I think I understand;
Sometime everyone will sing this song
Listen to them singin':
Um, um, um, um, um, um...
Um, um, um, um, um, um...
