Who Do You Think Of?
M.O Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who do you think of when you're lonely?
Who do you think of when you're lonely?
Lonely, lonely, lonely
Lonely, lonely, lonely

Every time you want it, you calling off my phone
But I don't even answer, need some time alone
No matter what happens, I never go too far

I always come right back, always come to where you are

'Cause every time I leave
Every time, every time I leave yeah
It's like you know I'll be
It's like you know, it's like you know I'll be there

'Cause every time I leave
Every time, every time I leave yeah
It's like you know I'll be
It's like you know, it's like you know I'll be there

Who do you think of when you're lonely?
Who do you think of when you're lonely?
Lonely, lonely, lonely
Lonely, lonely, lonely

So tell me, who do you, who do you think of?
Who do you, who do you think of?
Who do you, who do you think of?
When you're lonely

So tell me, who do you, who do you think of?
Who do you, who do you think of?
Who do you, who do you think of?
When you're lonely

Only we know about the games that we both play
And the things that you do to make me stay
Maybe we only fight 'cause we like to make it right yeah
So next time we're arguing, I'm coming right back tonight

'Cause every time I leave
Every time, every time I leave yeah
It's like you know I'll be
It's like you know, it's like you know I'll be there

'Cause every time I leave
Every time, every time I leave yeah
It's like you know I'll be
It's like you know, it's like you know I'll be there

Who do you think of when you're lonely?
Who do you think of when you're lonely?
Lonely, lonely, lonely
Lonely, lonely, lonely

So tell me, who do you, who do you think of?
Who do you, who do you think of?
Who do you, who do you think of?
When you're lonely

So tell me, who do you, who do you think of?
Who do you, who do you think of?
Who do you, who do you think of?
When you're lonely

'Cause when you call I'm there
You know I'll always be on my way
On time, yeah

So tell me, who do you, who do ya
Call I'm there
You know I'll always be on my way
On time, yeah
I always know when you're lonely
When you call I'm there
You know I'll always be on my way
On time, yeah

So tell me, who do you, who do ya

Who do you think of when you're lonely?
Who do you think of when you're lonely?
Lonely, lonely, lonely
Lonely, lonely, lonely

So tell me, who do you, who do you think of?
Who do you, who do you think of?
Who do you, who do you think of?
When you're lonely

So tell me, who do you, who do you think of?
Who do you, who do you think of?

Who do you, who do you think of?

I love this song, and it makes me terribly sad to think that almost 5 years have passed since that beautiful year with all the house songs that came out. Time is too short.
