Thinking of You
Mabel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking of you

Why can't I tell if you're into me
I'm a nine, you're a five
Been away for a couple of weeks
It could be more 'cause I lost track of time
Driving on the wrong side thinking of you
On the tenth floor thinking of you
And it isn't like me to be insecure
Oh, what have you done to my mind? Whoa

Wanna be with you
Wanna be with you
Oh my god, I'm a mess
Boy you got to me, got to me
You know you got to me

Tried to forget about you and no chance
I wasn't looking for a romance
Blue skies but I'm in the dark
Waiting on someone that gotta pick me up
Ooh, oh, whoa-oh
Thinking of you, thinking of you
Ooh, oh, whoa-oh
Thinking of you, thinking of you

I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking of you

In the hills with the windows down
Telling me he wants to show me around
He knows somebody with a fancy house
On the playlist, soon to be famous
He took me to the beach, I was thinking of you
Standing in his room but I was thinking of you
And I don't want you to be insecure
Oh, don't wanna play with your mind, whoa

Wanna be with you
Wanna be with you
Oh my god, I'm a mess
Boy you got to me, got to me
You know you got to me, oh

Tried to forget about you and no chance
I wasn't looking for a romance
Blue skies but I'm in the dark
Waiting on someone that gotta pick me up
Ooh, oh, whoa-oh
Thinking of you, thinking of you
Ooh, oh, whoa-oh
I'm thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking of you

Ooh, I'm coming right back
Tell all your friends that I'm coming right back
Ooh, I'm coming right back
You're enough to make me turn around and backtrack
Ooh, I'm coming right back
Tell all your friends that I'm coming right back
Ooh, I'm coming right back
You're enough to make turn around

Tried to forget about you and no chance
I wasn't looking for a romance
Blue skies but I'm in the dark
Waiting on someone that gotta pick me up
Ooh, oh, whoa-oh
Thinking of you, thinking of you
Ooh, oh, whoa-oh
Thinking of you, thinking of you
Forget about you and no chance
I wasn't looking for a romance
Blue skies but I'm in the dark
Waiting on someone that gotta pick me up
Ooh, oh, whoa-oh
Thinking of you, thinking of you
Ooh, oh, whoa-oh
Thinking of you, thinking of you

Ooh, oh, whoa-oh
Thinking of you, thinking of you
Ooh, oh, whoa-oh
Thinking of you, thinking of you

Overall Meaning

The song "Thinking of You" by Mabel talks about the difficulty of knowing whether or not someone is really interested in you. She compares herself to a "nine" and her love interest to a "five," suggesting that she feels like she is more invested in the relationship. However, this uncertainty hasn't stopped her from constantly thinking of this person. No matter where she goes or who she's with, she finds herself daydreaming about him. She tries to forget about him and move on, but it seems like he has a hold on her mind and heart.


The lyrics also mention a new love interest who is trying to sweep Mabel off her feet, but she can't stop thinking about the guy who's been on her mind. Despite this, she still wants to be with the person she's been thinking about, even though it's making her feel like a "mess." At the end of the song, Mabel hints that she might be coming back to the person she can't stop thinking about.


Overall, the song is about the internal struggle of being hung up on someone who may or may not reciprocate your feelings.
