Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, baby, anytime my world gets crazy
All I have to do
to calm it,
Is just think of you

'Cause when I think of you, baby,
Nothin' else seems to matter
'Cause when I think of you, baby,

All I think about is our love

I... just get My heart attached to you when
You hold me in your arms, and squeeze me
And you leave me making me blue

'Cause when I think of you, baby,
Nothin' else seems to matter
'Cause when I think of you, baby,
All I think about is our love

So in love (So in love)
Ooh (So in love)
With you (So in love)
Baby (So in love)Ooh (So in love)
Hee (So in love)With you (So in love)
(So in love)When I think of you...

(When I think of you)
When I think of you...
(When I think of you)
Bass

I'm...so in love
I just think of you
If you're not around
Oh

When I think of you (So in love)
Ooh (So in love)
So in love (So in love)
With you (So in love)
Baby ooh (So in love)
Ooh (So in love)
So in love (So in love)
With you (So in love)

Break!

AH HAHAHA!
Feels so good!
When I think of you!
Yeah, yeah!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Janet Jackson's "When I Think Of You" convey the idea that thinking of someone you love has the power to calm your world and make everything else seem insignificant. The song starts off with Janet expressing how she feels about her lover, stating that whenever her world gets crazy, thinking of the person she loves soothes her. She believes that nothing else matters as long as she has her love in her thoughts. She then goes on to talk about how she feels when she's with her lover, how holding her tight and squeezing her makes her heart full. However, when her lover is not around, Janet becomes blue and finds herself thinking about their love all the time.

The chorus of the song drives home the idea that thinking of her lover is enough to make her feel whole: "When I think of you, baby, nothin' else seems to matter, 'cause when I think of you, baby, all I think about is our love." The song culminates in a breakdown, where Janet sings "AH HAHAHA! Feels so good! When I think of you! Yeah, yeah!" This part of the song is reminiscent of classic disco music, and serves to emphasize just how much thinking of her lover means to Janet.

Ooh, baby, anytime my world gets crazy
Whenever life gets hectic and overwhelming

All I have to do
The only thing I need to do

to calm it,
To settle my nerves and reduce my stress levels

Is just think of you
Is to remember you and the love we share

My heart becomes attached to you when

You hold me in your arms, and squeeze me
You embrace me tightly with love and affection

And you leave me making me blue
When you're gone, I feel sad and lonely
