Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Think it over in your pretty little head
Think it over what you just said
Are you sure I'm not the one?

Well think it over
Yes think it over
Oh my heart grows cold and old

Think it over and let me know
Think it over darlin' don't be slow
Are you sure I'm not the one?
Now let me know

Well think it over
Ah think it over
Oh my heart grows cold and older

Hey! Think it over, over and over
Think it over, over and over

Overall Meaning

In the end, he implores her to let him know her decision, and to not "be slow" in making it.

The lyrics are a poignant expression of the insecurity and fear that often accompany romantic relationships. The man is unsure whether he will lose the love of his life or be able to salvage their relationship. He is vulnerable and emotionally exposed, acknowledging the fragility of his own heart and the precariousness of his situation.
