Thinking of You
Paul Weller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody let me tell you about my love
Brought to me by an angel from above
Fully equipped with a lifetime guarantee
Once you try it, well i'm sure that you'll agree

[Without love] There's no reason to live
[Without you] And what would I do with the love I give
[All my lovin'] To you I'll be giving
And I promise, as long as I'm living

I'm thinking of you and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy
I'm thinking of you and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy

All the times you make me glad that I'm alive
sharing Together, helping me survive
What did you think brought the sun out today
Well its you, let me hear you say

[Without love] there's no reason to live
[Without you] Oh, what would I do with the love I give
[All my lovin'] To you I'll be giving
And I promise, as long as I'm living

I'm thinking of you and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy



I'm thinking of you and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy
