I’ve Been Thinking About You

[Intro]
Do, do, do, do
Woo, hoo-ooh, hoo-ooh-ooh, oh-oh, oh, woah
Dooba-do, do-do, do, yeah

[Verse 1]
We’ve known each other for a long, long time
But I never really noticed all the magic in your eyes
I’ve been around you a thousand times before
And you’ve always been a friend to me
But now I’m wanting more

[Pre-Chorus]
I must have been so blind
I never realized
You’re the one that’s right for me
All the while I couldn’t see
And now I feel so strange
I’ll never be the same
I’m going ’round and ’round in circles
And I don’t know what to do ’cause, baby

[Chorus]
I’ve been thinking about you (Oh, yeah)
In the most peculiar way
I’ve been thinking about you
It’s unbelievable to me
But suddenly, I think I’m falling in love with you

[Verse 2]
There’s no explaining how I feel inside
I’m going through a transformation that’s so hard for me to hide
I had a revelation that finally opened up my eyes
The one I spent a lifetime searching for was right here all the time

[Pre-Chorus]
I was oblivious
So very out of touch
All the while I couldn’t see
You’re the one that’s right for me
And now my world has changed
I’ll never be the same
I’m going ’round and ’round in circles
And it’s all because of you, sweet baby

[Chorus]
I’ve been thinking about you (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
In the most peculiar way (In the most peculiar way)
I’ve been thinking about you (Really got you on my mind)
It’s unbelievable to me (It’s unbelievable)
But suddenly, I think I’m falling in love with you
I’ve been thinking about you (Baby, baby, baby)
In the most peculiar way (In the most peculiar way)
I’ve been thinking about you (Got you on my mind)
It’s unbelievable to me (It’s unbelievable)
But suddenly, I think I’m falling in love with you

[Bridge]
Don’t you know that you’re blowing my mind?
What you do to me, I can’t describe (No, no-no, no, no)
Baby, I can’t hold back anymore
I just can’t conceal it
You’re the one I really adore, oh, woah, woo-hoo, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
I’ve been thinking about you (Oh, oh)
In the most peculiar way (In the most peculiar way)
I’ve been thinking about you (Oh, really got you on my mind)
In the most peculiar way (In the most peculiar way)
I’ve been thinking about you
(I’ve been thinkin’, thinkin’, thinkin’, thinkin’ ’bout you, oh)
In the most peculiar way
(I’ve been thinkin’, thinkin’, thinkin’, thinkin’ ’bout you, about you)
I’ve been thinking about you
It’s unbelievable to me
But suddenly, I think I’m fallin’, I’m fallin’ (I’ve been thinking about you)
Baby, I’ve been thinking about you (In the most peculiar way)
I’ve been thinking about you (Oh, all and all about you)
It’s unbelievable to me (Yeah, to me)
But suddenly, I think I’m fallin, I’m fallin’
In the most peculiar way (In the most peculiar way)
I’ve been thinking about you (Yeah, yeah)
It’s unbelievable to me
But suddenly, I think I’m fallin’, I’m fallin’
With you
