Think of You
Amerie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't stop thinkin about what we once had together
I kno the reason is that our love was meant forever
But now my life is shared with someone other than you
But life is worthless if right beside me there is no you

Everyday (yea yea yea) alone I think (i think of you) of you your not my man (im with somebody else)
All I want (all I want yea) to know is can I be (can I be whoa whoa) with you tonight (because baby)
I've never stopped lovin' your kissin' and huggin'
I still think of us when I'm all alone
Its hard for me to forget wishin' your the one that I'm with
Now I'm so full of regrets
What do I do when I think of you

Do you remember the day when you first said I love you
I can remember cause through me all my dreams had come true
Now I don't kno why I'm with him when love just ain't true
But now I do know why I'm always wishing that it was you

Everyday alone (whoo whoo whoo) I think of you (think of you)
Your (you) not my man (I'm with somebody else eh)
All I want (yea) to know (oh oh) is can I be (can I be) with you tonight
(because baby)

I've never stopped lovin' your kissin' and huggin' (your kissin' and huggin')
I still think of us when I'm all alone (i still I still do)
Its hard for me to forget (hard for me) wishin' your the one (wishin' your the one) that I'm with
Now I'm so full of regrets (so what do)
What do I do (what do I do) when I think of you

(Hoping Hoping Praying) you understand how I love you
(I'm trying trying waiting) to tell you how much I need you
(boy I know I know i) never said enough I love you
(but now I kno my heart) will never love no one but you baby.

I've never stopped lovin' (I've never stopped loving)
Your kissin' and huggin' (your kissing and your huggin')
I still think of us when I'm all alone (I still think of you) (whoa)
It's hard for me to forget (oh whoa) wishing your the one that I'm with (whoa oh oh)
Now I'm so full of regrets
What do I do (what do I do when) when I think of you

I've never stopped lovin' (stopped lovin')
Your kissin' and huggin' (your kiss your hug yea)
I still think of us when I'm all alone (hey hey hey hey hey)
Its hard for me to forget (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) wishing your the one that I'm with
Now I'm so full of regrets
What do I do (what do I do) when I think of you

I've never stopped lovin' your kissin' and huggin'
I still think of us when I'm all alone
Its hard for me to forget wishin' your the one that I'm with




Now I'm so full of regrets
What do I do when I think of you

Overall Meaning

Amerie's song Think of You is about someone who can't stop thinking about a past love even though she's with someone new. Despite being in a current relationship, the singer reminisces and longs for the one she once shared a deep love with. As she goes about her day, memories of her previous lover constantly flood her mind, and at night when she's alone, all she can think about is him. She is filled with deep regret about not being with him and feeling empty without him by her side. She questions what she should do when thoughts of him consume her and she can't seem to escape them.


The lyrics also highlight the difficulty one can face when they move on from a past relationship but can't completely shake off the emotional bond. It can be hard to resist the temptation and memories of the past, even though the present reality is different. Amerie's emotional and heartfelt vocals convey the pain and confusion that comes with moving on from a deep love.
