Out of My Mind Lyrics

I'm putting you baby
I'm putting you right out of my mind
I'm putting you baby
I'm putting you right out of my mind
So tired of running after you girl
And being one and one half steps behind

Go tell your friends now
Go tell your friends what Johnny did
Go tell your friends
Go tell your friends just what Johnny did
If they don't tell you that you’re crazy baby
Lord, they're as messed up as you is!

(Let me play my guitar people!)
(Let me play my guitar people!)

I'm putting you baby
I'm putting you out of my mind
mind, mind mind,
I'm putting you, baby
I'll put you right out of my mind
So tired of running after you girl
And being one and one half steps behind

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Such a good song!

Its revengeful but in a slightly humourous way.

And the guitar is amazing.

Just heard this song in my jazz class and let me just say, I'm not the biggest John Mayer fan (the person, not the music. I like the music!), but this song really blew me away! It's an incredible personal take on a classic blues tune about dumping a girl and being happy about it. I haven't heard a track from his live album that I haven't liked yet
