Thinking of you
by 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
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
