I Think I Love You
The Partridge Family Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed screaming out the words I dread
I think I love you (I think I love you)

This morning I woke up with this feeling
I didn't know how to deal with and so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself and never talk about it
And did not go and shout it when you walked into the room
I think I love you (I think I love you)

I think I love you so what am I so afraid of
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for

I think I love you isn't that what life is made of
Though it worries me to say that I never felt this way

I don't know what I'm up against
I don't know what it's all about
I got so much to think about

Hey, I think I love you so what am I so afraid of
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for

I think I love you isn't that what life is made of
Though it worries me to say I never felt this way

Believe me you really don't have to worry
I only wanna make you happy and if you say "hey go away" I will
But I think better still I'd better stay around and love you
Do you think I have a case let me ask you to your face
Do you think you love me?

I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Partridge Family's "I Think I Love You" describe the internal conflict of a person who suddenly realizes that they have feelings of love for someone they did not expect to. The song starts with the singer describing how they woke up from a dream and suddenly felt this intense feeling that keeps knocking at their brain. They try to ignore it, but it keeps coming back. The singer is scared of these feelings because they do not know what they are up against, but they cannot resist the urge to confess their love.


The second verse continues the internal monologue of the singer as they struggle with their newfound feelings. They are afraid of being rejected, so they decide to keep their emotions a secret. However, their feelings become too much to contain, and they start to realize that love is what life is made of. Even though they are worried about expressing their emotions, they know that they have never felt this way before.


The chorus serves as a confession of love, and the singer is still scared of the potential response from their love interest. They repeatedly ask the same question, "Do you think I love you?" and hope for a positive answer. In the end, they express that they only want to make the other person happy and promise to stick around to love them.


Overall, the song is a classic story of an unexpected love confession and the internal conflict that comes with it. The lyrics are relatable to many people who have experienced sudden, unexpected love.

This is the BEST song on the album! This "haunting" sound, as some describe it, just made it sound even better.
I have never associated "haunting" or any other derogatory term to this song.
That's why "The Partridge Family version was a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1970."

A lot of Rock songs are not that good, but there are many in each category that are Great!
I love Psychedelic Rock, Hard Rock, Mellow Rock, Disco, Grunge, Punk Rock, Heavy Metal, etc.

And, for The Partridge Family genre, "I Think I Love You" is one of their best!!
(I still have this album.)

How can you not love a pop song that prominently features a harpsichord? Immortal.

@kaygreen3279

Lol

@JaredDocEstesMusic

Lennon - in my life

@John_G69

The guy that played the harpsichord is the same guy that played piano on bridge over troubled water. He was also the bass player in the band Bread. His name is Larry Knechtel.
