Think Of You
Usher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yes, yes, y'all
To the beat all

Yes, yes, y'all
To the beat all

Yes, yes, y'all
To the beat all

All the time I think of you
Holding on to someone new
Don't make me lose my mind
Seems like I been here before
Baby I can't take no more
Of you trying to play me out, baby

I feel so strange thinking about you
After all the wrong you've done to me
I can't go on feeling like I do
'Cause my heart loves you, I'm so confused

All the time I think of you
Holding on to someone new
Don't make me lose my mind
Seems like I been here before
Baby I can't take no more
Of you trying to play me out, baby

Don't waste my time
'Cause someone like me you'll never find
I thought we had a good thing
But I was wrong and now I must move on

To another love, one that I can trust
With my heart I know she'll never run away
Just can't talk no more
So I'm out the door
Talk to me
Why you wanna play love games?

All the time I think of you (think of you)
Holding on to someone new (someone new)
Don't make me lose my mind (don't make me lost my mind, baby)
Seems like I been here before (here before)
Baby I can't take no more (take no more)
Of you trying to play me out, baby

All the time I think of you
Holding on to someone new
Don't make me lose my mind
Seems like I been here before
Baby, I can't take no more
Of you trying to play me out, baby

To another love, one that I can trust
With my heart I know she'll never run away
Just can't take no more
So I'm out the door
Talk to me
Why you wanna play love games?

All the time I think of you
Holding on to someone new
Don't make me lose my mind
Seems like I been here before
Baby I can't take no more
Of you trying to play me out, baby

All the time I think of you
Holding on to someone new
Don't make me lose my mind
Seems like I been here before




Baby I can't take no more
Of you trying to play me out, baby

TOOK ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD...THE 90S WERE A HAPPY TIME

@blackolantern5666

@Chyna Edwards. I might be a little older than you but I myself was in college. I was 19 when this song hit, and this takes me back being in my college dorm after class on a warm sunny afternoon in FL, siting in the tv room watching all the hiphop/r&b classics on B.E.T and Rap City. Such simpler innocent times for me back then. I miss my college buddies; I haven't spoken to them in a long time.😥 Faaaaaaamuuuuuu! Go rattlers!🐍
