The Dells are an American R&B and crossover musical group. Their successful recordings spanned more than four decades. Formed in 1952 after attending high school together, the Dells' repertoire has included doo-wop, jazz, soul, disco and contemporary rhythm and blues.

The Dells are 2004 inductees into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, and were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame the same year.

(Ooh...) I just can't believe it, girl (Baby) 
I can't believe that it's over (No, no, no, no) 
But I'm your man (Woo...hoo...) and I'll be alright (Yeah, whoa...) 
But still, the love we had stays on my mind 

Lately baby, I've been thinkin' 
How good it was when you were here 
And it ain't the wine that I've been drinkin' 
For once I feel my head is clear (Ooh, yeah) 

But early this mornin', ha, when I opened my eyes, ha 
That old lonesome feelin' took me by surprise, ha 
I guess you meant more to me than I realized 
The love we had stays on my mind (Ooh, stays on my mind) 
The love we had stays on my mind 
(Oh...oh...whoa...ho...yeah...yeah...oh...yeah...sing it Jazz) 

And lately, girl, I've been rememberin' 
The good times that we used to share 
My thoughts of you don't have an endin' 
And the memories of you are everywhere' oh, yeah, oh, yeah 

But why should I tell you it's not your concern 
You win some, you lose some, but I've lost and I've learned, ha 
Sysqo's so lonely with no place to turn, at 
And at the end, I find, yes, I do 
[The love we had stays on my mind] Woo...whoa...oh...yeah...yeah...yeah... 

Girl, if you were nearer (Oh, ba-baby) 
If you had a mirror (If you had a mirror) 
Maybe you could count my tears (You don't know, you don't know how I tried) 
And if you were nearer (Baby) 
It would all be clearer (I want you right here nest to me) 
How I wish that you were here (Mmm, mmm) 
How I wish that you were (Oh, baby) here (How I wish, how I wish) 
(How I wish that you were here, I want to let you know, know, yeah...) 

And baby girl, I was tired 
So I laid down to dream for a little while 
But lately I've been so (Ha), so uninspired (Take your time, take your time, take it) 
Without the comfort of your smile (Hey, hey, hey, yeah) 

But I'm not complainin', huh 
'Cause that's how it goes 
There's always some heartache 
In this world I suppose, huh, just a minute 
But you can't imagine 
But nobody knows 
The love we had stays on my mind 
(Nobody knows, baby, that the love stays on my mind) 
The love we had stays on my mind (Oh...yes, baby, oh...yes, baby) [Ooh, yes] 
(Do you hear me) [Hey] 
The love we had (Woo) stays on my mind (Some times I get a little lonely) 
The love we had (And I can't eat at night) [I can't eat at night, ha] stays on my mind 
(I can't sleep, baby, ha, Lord have mercy) [I can't sleep at night] 
The love we had (Woo) stays on my mind (Yeah...yeah...yeah...) 
The love we had stays on my mind 
(Oh, baby, ooh, just help me, say yeah, yeah) [Yeah, yeah] 
The love we had stays on my mind (Say yeah, yeah) [Yeah, yeah] 
The love we had stays on my mind (Ooh, say yeah, yeah) [Yeah, yeah] 
(Oh, yeah....yeah...hey, hey) 
The love we had (Uh) stays on my mind (Baby) [Baby] (All right) [All right] (I said) 
The love we had stays on my mind (Whoa...ho...yeah...oh, yeah) 
The love we had stays on my mind
