Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
'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?

When you're lonely
In the song “Who Do You Think of?” by M.O, the singer asks a question to her lover, “Who do you think of when you're lonely?” This question reveals the insecurity that the singer has about her relationship. The singer also mentions how her lover often contacts her when he wants to talk, but she needs some alone time and she needs some personal space. However, despite this, she always comes back to him as she implies, “no matter what happens, I never go too far, I always come right back, always come to where you are.”
Furthermore, in the lyrics, there is an acknowledgment that both of them play games with each other. They argue and fight, but they also know how to resolve their issues. The lines “maybe we only fight ‘cause we like to make it right yeah, so next time we’re arguing, I'm coming right back tonight,” suggest that even though they have arguments, they both love each other and they know how to make their relationship stronger.
To conclude, “Who Do You Think of?” is a song about the insecurity and the love present in a relationship. The singer is asking her lover if she is the only one that he thinks of when he is lonely, and despite their arguments and fights, they both know how to resolve their issues.
