Hey whassup?

I been missing you, ya know
But I want you to know something

Oh, ummmm
And I've been thinking, yeah

Um hum

Since the first day I ever layed my eye
Upon your face
I knew you'd be mine
And since the time you gave me your tiny hand
I knew I wanted to be your man

And I been thinking
I been thinking of you
Ha ha, I just wanna know if you been thinking about me girl
You been thinking of me
I know it was a long time ago but I want to know
I been thinking of you
Ha, I just wanna know if you, you been thinking about me too
You been thinking of me

Now I know it's been about a year since I kissed you
On your face
But I want you to know I remember the feeling that day
And I want to feel it that same way
But I gotta let you know, yeah

I been thinking about it
That I been looking
I been thinking about it
And I been searching
I been thinking about it
And I been walking
I been thinking about it
And I been talking
I been thinking about it
And also stalking
I been thinking about it
In my mind
I want you to know
I been thinking

That I been thinking
I been thinking of you
I just want to know today, are you thinking girl
You been thinking of me
When it gets late at night I wanna know
I been thinking of you
I just want to know have you been thinking girl
You been thinking of me

But I say I been thinking
I been thinking about it
I been searching
I been thinking about it
And I been looking
I been thinking about it
I been walking
I been thinking about it
And I been talking
I been thinking about it
And I been stalking
I been thinking about it
In my mind
I want you to know
I been thinking

That I been thinking
I been thinking of you
Yeah, I wanna know you been thinking baby
You been thinking of me
I been thinking about you for a long time
I been thinking of you
I just want to know, maybe are you thinking about me
You been thinking of me

I find myself looking at the clock on the wall
I been thinking of you
And everything that crawls around my home
You been thinking of me
See sometimes I even wanna call the police, ya see
I been thinking of you
And put out a APB and try to find you, try to find you baby
You been thinking of me
Ya know sometimes I want to call America's Most Wanted
I been thinking of you
Cuz you most wanted in my life




You been thinking of me
Yeah, yeah, and I'm just thinking about you

He recalls the moment he first saw her and knew she would be his, and the time she gave him her hand, which made him want to be her man. The song then transitions to a chorus where he repeats his desire to know if she has been thinking about him too.


The singer then lists all the ways he has been thinking about his former lover: looking, searching, walking, talking, stalking, and thinking about her every day in his mind. He admits to thinking about her late at night and confesses that he even contemplates calling the police or America’s Most Wanted to find her. The song ends on a note of longing and hopefulness as he continues to think about her, hoping that she has been thinking about him too.
