About You
J.B.T. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When this kinda song comes on, gets me thinking about you
I wonder what I should do, and how much I should tell you
I wonder what I should do, and how much I should tell you
This ain't no immature love song
Not your typical 21st century confession
I just felt that it would be wrong not to share
When I'm surrounded by such an enormity of blessings
Is how to keep my head straight when I'm falling in love
And I know that that just sounds like an oxymoron
But all I'm saying is I found my peace within and I learned to hold on
When I'm on my own, I start thinking bout you
When this kinda song comes on, gets me thinking about you
I wonder what I should do, and how much I should tell you
I wonder what I should do, and how much I should tell you
All I ask is please, don't think too much about it
At least not without talking to me first about it
It hurts me when you go jumping to conclusions
After hearing only half my story then filling your clues in
When I'm on my own, I start thinking bout you
When this kinda song comes on, gets me thinking about you
I wonder what I should do, and how much I should tell you
I wonder what I should do, and how much I should tell you
And how much I should tell you
