Thinking Of You lyrics - Tracy Chapman

About what's real and true 

What can not be proven 

What can be assumed 

Once when I was younger 

In the bloom of youth 

I received an honest answer 

When a lie would do 

[Chorus:]

And now all I do is sit 

In my darkened room 

And on accasion break my silence 

To howl at the moon 

To curse every nerve 

And neuron in my brain 

That won't stop the pain I'm feeling 

And let me stop thinking 

I used to think 

Galileo would agree 

That the world was round 

And you'd come round to me 

But I have looked for you 

And you're nowhere in sight 

The world must be flat 

The Babylonians were right 

[Chorus] 

I used to think 

Consider gravity 

If I placed you on a pedestal 

You'd slip and fall for me 

But you floated on the air 

Far away at light speed 

I guess some objects do defy 

The laws that we conceive 

[Chorus] 

I used to think 

It took all my time 

Analysing you 

Your mind on my mind 

Your name my mantra 

Repeated on my lips 

That once tried to kiss you 

A memory unrepressed 

[Chorus] 

Stop thinking of you 

Stop thinking of you 

Stop thinking of you
