Their follow-up single "A Better Love" became a Hot 100 Top 20 hit, and they returned to #1 on the dance chart with "Come Back" (Hot 100 #62).
In 1995, Londonbeat entered the UK heats of the Eurovision Song Contest with "I'm Just Your Puppet on a ... (String)", however they were not selected to go to the main contest (losing out to rap group Love City Groove) and the single limped in at Number 55.
In 2003 Londonbeat re-grouped with a new line up and signed to German record label Coconut. An album called Back in the Hi-Life featured re-recordings of "A Better Love" and "I've Been Thinkin About You" amongst the new tracks.
Marc Goldschmitz left the band in 2004, now pushing his german-indie-pop-projekt "die Unerklärlichen".
I've Been Thinking About You
Londonbeat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we thought we were just friends
'Cause I miss you, baby
And I've got those feelings again
I guess I'm all confused about you
I feel so in love
Oh baby
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you (oh yeah)
I've been thinking about you (ooh, chi-pow-pow)
Hey, suddenly we're strangers
I watch you walking away
She was my one temptation
Oh, I did not want her to stay
Deep down, I'm still confused about you
Oh, yes I am, baby
I feel so in love
Oh baby
What can I do?
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you (oh yeah)
I've been thinking about you (got you on my mind)
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
Oh, thinking about you
Got you on my mind (chi-pow-pow)

Hey, what good is being here without you?
I wanna know
I feel so in love
Oh baby, what can I do?

I've been thinking about you (oh)
I've been thinking about you

I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
