Whitney Houston - Thinking About You Lyrics






I can't get you off my mind
No matter what I do
I'm wishing you were here, with me
It makes no difference
I only think of you
And I living out my fantasy

[Chorus:]
Late at night, a rendezvous
Being such a love sick fool
It might be pouring rain
But still the same, nothings changed
All and all I feel no shame
I'm just your fool the same
(I'm just your fool)
(I keep thinking about you baby)
So tell me what you're gonna do
(I keep thinking about you)
All I wanna do is
(Like a river of wine, intoxicate my mind
I'm thinking about you)
That's what I wanna do
(Pick me up, let's go down
I'm thinking about it too)
(I'm thinking about you)
Ya got me thinking about you
(I'm thinking about it too)

Maybe weeping is a game
That's hard for me to face
(But you need me)
Just like I need you
There's no reason
Just my heart that makes me feel this way
And I hope you feel the same way too

[Chorus]
[Spoken]
It might be pouring rain
But like a fool, insane
I run to you
I'm just a love sick fool
I've got this thing for you (I'm just a love-sick fool)

[Chorus]

  2. P.... E....

    I can't get you off my mind
    No matter what I do
    I'm wishing you were here with me
    Makes no difference
    Any difference
    I think of you

    And I'm living out my fantasy
    Midnight I run to you
    Being such a love sick fool
    It might be pouring rain (it could be pouring)
    Still the same, nothing's changed
    All in all I feel no shame
    I'm just a fool insane
    (I'm just a fool)
    (I keep thinking about you, baby)
    So tell me what ya gonna do
    (I keep thinking about you)
    All I wanna do is
    (Like a river of wine, intoxicate my mind)
    (I'm thinking about you)
    That's what I wanna do
    (Pick me up, let's go down)
    (I'm thinking about it, too)
    (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
    (I'm thinking about you)
    Ya got me thinking about you
    (I'm thinking about it, too)

    Make believing is a game
    That's not for me to play
    (Don't you need me)
    Just like I need you
    There's no reason
    Just my heart that makes me feel this way
    And I hope you feel the same way, too

    Midnight I run to you
    Being such a love sick fool
    It might be pouring rain (it could be pouring)
    Still the same, nothing's changed
    All in all I feel no shame
    I'm just a fool insane
    I'm just a fool
    (I keep thinking about you, baby)
    So tell me what ya gonna do
    Got me thinking about you
    All I wanna do is
    (Like a river of wine, intoxicate my mind)
    (I'm thinking about you)
    That's what I wanna do
    (Pick me up, let's go down)
    (I'm thinking about it, too)
    (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
    (I'm thinking about you)
    Got me thinking about you
    (I'm thinking about it, too)

    It might be pouring rain
    But like a fool, insane
    I run, I run, I run, I run to you
    I'm just a love sick fool
    I've got this thing for you
    (I'm just, I'm just a love sick fool)

    I'm just a fool for you
    (I keep thinking about you, baby)
    So tell me what ya gonna do
    Got me thinking about you

    (I'm thinking about you)
    Got me thinking about you

  5. A.... C....

    Classic. This song introduced me to my first girlfriend, my first dance, my first love. Memories.

  6. B.... C....

    This was a fave jam of mine from her 1985 debut lp and there should have been a video for it!

    J.... M....

    @Dudebro13454 Bro.....lol smdh

  27. D.... B....

    Awwww yeah......Whitney and Kashif! Damn this sounds so good. Kashif's production sound is always heaven to my ears. Haven't heard this in a while. Like I said...ya gots good taste in music👏👍👌😊

  28. M.... B....

    Motivo sottovalutato.

  29. B.... ....

    This song makes me want to swim in a river of wine.

  30. D.... E....

    The best singer of the world

  32. M.... H....

    B.... H....

    Brandy Hospsn00pward

  34. N.... L....

    her voice was very silky, but powerful....

    N.... L....

    Nichola Law Pure silk!

  35. D.... H....

    I love this song

  36. k.... a....

    I never understood why this song wasn't a hit!!!

    k.... a....

    Was it released as a single?

    k.... a....

    @Andy JS Yes it was. It just didnt have the same mainstream sound or appeal like other singles (Saving All My Love For You, Greatest Love of All, How Will I Know) did, all of which were number one hits

    k.... a....

    @Andy JS Nope. It wasn't and I don't understand why,had this got ANY airplay it wld hv taken off like a rocket

    k.... a....

    It did make top ten on r7b as this was the third single .. most people think "How Will I Know " was the third signal when it was the 4th . The label did not do a Video and she never performed it was a radio hit in 85 and was and rb top 10song.

    k.... a....

    @Bo Williamson It was a hit in NEw York when I was growing up. The radio stations blasted this song day and night.

  37. D.... S....

    David Shepard I always love her first album. Did you continue to work with Whitney with her other albums or other projects? And what would you say was Whitney’s greatest asset with her talent?

    D.... S....

  49. t.... b....

    Miss both of these amazing artist, THE GREAT WHITNEY HOUSTON & KASHIF. R.I.P...This was one of her slept on songs.

  50. R.... G....

    That intro is just all kinds of funkay. Kashif's brilliance is all over this track with Whitney giving one of her best vocal peformances. I am not really a fan of hers but she kills it on this track.

  51. V.... B....

    OMG I use to dance to this track clubbin in the early 90s haha so many memories!..

  52. s.... 7....

    it's all about kashif on this tune, rest in peace brother

  53. F.... G....

    Um um um

  54. m.... e....

    this is kashif spe

  55. L.... ....

  63. K.... E....

    May both of these artist rest in peace. I miss the both of them.

  64. S.... W....

    Rest in Peace Kashif.

    S.... W....

    Sean Warren He sounds like Jermaine Jackson.

    S.... W....

    And RIP Whitney. Missing you Nippy

  65. C.... W....

    Whitney slayed this song!!!

    C.... W....

    Cody With A Chance Television Sounds like Jermaine Jackson in the background.

    C.... W....

    @Kiona McNutt it is i think i read the liner notes a while ago.

    C.... W....

    @music lover1984 Its not Jermaine. Its actually the guy who produced this, Kashif

    C.... W....

    @lunga Zulu I know that now i read the credits in the japanese edition a month ago.

  66. D.... D....

    Funk!!!!!!

  67. c.... l....

    used to wait day n nite to hear this song on the radio

  68. J.... T....

    It is so sad she suicide, before her last days on earth. She should have went to therapy and clearly she was in trouble. Why not live longer, to live for your baby girl

    J.... T....

    Yes in some ways. Everyone is different

    J.... T....

    She didn't suicide. She was murdered.

    J.... T....

    Even if she was murdered, she would have died from her drug use anyway. There's no point in caring.

  69. C.... W....

    When a song is running through your head for a week straight...OMG!!! And this was released when I was 8- I still remember the lyrics😂💜

    C.... W....

    lol yes it's been my head for ever... I couldnt remember who but I found it.....love this

  70. L.... M....

    This is my favorite of hers..this used to ROCK in the mid 80's...Peace and Love!

  71. C.... W....

    damn! i gotta get this album!

  72. W.... D....

    BIG reason for this track's magic is Kashif's telltale NYC production; that was the last time I clearly heard his trademark sound on a record, even though he did other projects.

  73. R.... M....

    This is music!!!!!!!!!!

  74. C.... C....

    Awesome dance track. I always thought this should've been released as a Top 40 single. Might've been another hit for Whitney if given the chance.

    C.... C....

    KoolCat ! I think I read somewhere that the record company thought this sounded "too black"...whatever the hell that means!

    C.... C....

    Haha. Well it sounded fine to my ears. And it didn't sound any more R&B than lots of other stuff I heard on mainstream radio at that time.

  75. a.... ....

    Peace/blessings! " ... got me thinking bout you baby.. intoxicate my mind!"

  76. R.... G....

    La mejor .......Besitos¡¡

  77. T.... ....

    I Use To Hear This On The Radio
    Out In Smithville Tx Back In The Days..Love The 80s

  78. R.... S....

    For You! Me llevas CH...

  79. P.... N....

    This song is just so....80s lol!

    P.... N....

    @Johan Liebert

    Yes, the dub version of this one has special japanese harmonious ambient vibes.

    P.... N....

    @Angle Johnson so was I in April 1984.

    P.... N....

    Yeah youngee what you know about this? Real music..

  80. R.... P....

    luv this song

  81. V.... C....

    kashif was the man in the 80's

  82. E.... ....

    Whitney's best song IMHO. 
    Jermaine Jackson wrote this hypnotic masterpiece if I can recall.

    E.... ....

    +espocespoc Kashif co wrote it

    E.... ....

    +evchild lalah and kashif

    E.... ....

    Jermaine wrote Someone for me though, maybe you meant that song.

  83. S.... S....

    I was an kid when this came out but I do remember this being play on the radio all the time hearing this song.

  84. J.... M....

    I just love my Kashif. He is so underrated as I have stated time and time again. Whitney's voice tops this song off. Should have been a bigger hit than what it was.

    J.... M....

    +Jonathan Meeks It didn't make the top 40 but it did peak at #10 on the R&B Chart.

    J.... M....

    i agree!

    J.... M....

    Yes, I loved this man's sound. Pure soul.

    J.... M....

    I agree .. it should have been a bigger hit. This song did not have a video , nor did she perform it on any syndicated shows to get the exposure like all of her other BIG crossover hits. It did make top 10 r&b as third single . Yet and still this is my jam!!

    J.... M....

    Yeah wasnt promoted as a "Dance / Pop" Genre..it was promoted as a R&B Genre..another words.. the song wasnt "White" enough to put into the Pop Stations...Great example: I drive cab one day for these 4 Causcasians look like in their upper 50s and were in the car listening to Whitney Houston first album I had on in the car..They singing along with all of her hits that were on the pop stations back then..but when it to this song they had no idea..lol..They asked me is this still Whitney Houston?..lol.. I told them this was her career third hit record..they were like Wow!! Really?!!... I never heard this one before...😄😄

  85. f.... ....

    I love this song! Great album...

  86. J.... A....

    I ADMIRE MADONNA BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE SONG,.
    FABULOUS 
    THIS IS A JEWEL OF THE DISCO MUSIC

  87. �.... �....

    i love you WHITNEY HOUSTON

  88. J.... G....

    my jam!!  1985 baby!!

  89. I.... l....

    Great album and great song - golden sound of the 80's!

  90. V.... ....

    You're like a river of wine, intoxicate my mind, I'm thinkin' bout you!!  Played this CD this morning, and it's been in my head ALL DAY!!  Miss the good ol' days!

    V.... ....

    +VideoVixen24 peace/blessings! Yes!

  91. H.... M....

    I still don't think this album has had a proper remastering.  It deserves it. 

    H.... M....

    +Probe Rok you're both full of shit, there's nothing wrong with the original.

    H.... M....

    +Hillary Mansfield There's now a deluxe edition of her debut that's been remastered. Sounds great too.

    H.... M....

    Hillary Mansfield she is a queen

  92. c.... ....

    sounds like KASHIF production .. real talk

    c.... ....

    @suavehinrg I knew it .... Kashif is that dude :)

    c.... ....

    He starting working w/ Whitney, leaving Evelyn Champaynge King behind

    c.... ....

    corey84douglass i always thought those were Jermaine Jackson's vocals. They sound almost alike!

    c.... ....

    @Yazmín Salinas Ricci so did I lol.

    c.... ....

    @Yazmín Salinas Ricci true!!

  93. J.... ....

    Thanks Moon Boots.

  94. y.... ....

    i was a child in my bedroom singing. I really miss those days I knew the whole album. whitney tought me how to sing! Love you whitney.

  95. F.... ....

    This song helped keep me sane in the field, in the Army, stationed in Germany. Ich leibe dich!

  96. C.... V....

    I've been crazy over this song since I was young.
