Do I Love You
The Jackson 5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't wait to get to school each day
And wait for you to pass my way
(And bells start to ring) and angels start to sing
Hey that's the girl for you (ooh, yeah)
So what are you gonna do? (oh, baby)
Hey little girl I love you so (I love you so)

All I do is think of you
Day and night that's all I do (that's all I do, baby)
I can't get you off my mind
Think about you all the time, all the time

I began to take the long way home
Just so I can be alone
(To think of how to say)
You're fine in every way
Hey I'm in love with you (oh, I love you baby)
I think the world of you (oh, yes I do)
Oh, won't you please, please be mine, mine

All I do is think of you
Baby day and night that's all I do
I can't get you off my mind
Think about you all the time, all the time, oh

(Girl you're so doggone fine)
Baby I love you
Think the world of ya, oh
Day and night that's all I do
Oh baby, can't get you off my mind
I've been dreaming about you (I've been dreaming about you)
Oh baby, I keep thinking about you
All night long, oh




Day and night that's all I do
Oh cant get you, cant get you off my mind

Overall Meaning

The Jackson 5's song "All I Do Is Think Of You" is a lovestruck ballad with a bouncy, upbeat tune underpinning its lyrics. The song is about a boy who is deeply in love with a girl and cannot stop thinking about her, day or night. He anxiously waits for her to pass by him every day and even takes the long way home just so he can be alone and think about her more. The boy's infatuation has rendered him unable to focus on anything else in his life, which is expressed through the lyric "All I do is think of you."


The first two verses describe the boy's affection for the girl and his desire to be with her. He sees her as the perfect girl for him, and he loves her deeply. He confesses his feelings to her in the third verse, imploring her to be his. The chorus repeats the central theme of the song: the boy cannot stop thinking about the girl he loves, day and night, and he dreams about her all the time.
