Why Don't You Think Things Over? - Original - 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

Like 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 them when I’m gone

Savior, I’ve always saved your deft reputation

Stuck around when you were down

Together, I held you together

I 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 them when I’m 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 them when I’m gone, gone, gone, gone, 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 them when I’m gone

You’re gonna think about ‘em

You’re gonna think about 'em, think about 'em

When I’m gone
