I Think About You
Patti LaBelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I feel like I'm loving kissing and hugging
I think about you
When my heart starts to burn and I get that crazy and mean
I think about you
When that feel comes all over me it's true
I want to see nobody but you
When I need to satisfy me without revving
Oh yeah I think about you
I think about you
You
You
Oh I think about you
I think about
You

Oh I think about you
When my body starts to sweat

When I start to pass of through

Have a feeling, a different thing
Comes all over me again and again
You are the one who'd be
When my love comes down
Wishing always
