Thinkin' 'Bout You

All music and lyrics ©2014 by John Speckine Renewed: ©2025 Lyrics below. BACKSTORY: If you're a fan of the Doobie Brothers, you might notice the similarity of THIS song and the Doobie's "Take Me in Your Arms" - not in the sound (I've occasionally been told I sound like a couple of famous musicians/bands, but never the Doobies). The similarity is in the subject combined with tempo. "Take Me in Your Arms" is a very upbeat song but the subject is far from happy. It's about seeing someone for the last time. This is, more or less, my "Take Me In Your Arms". So... Tempo = Upbeat. Subject, not so much. Words & Music ©2014 by John Speckine LYRICS: I'm sittin' in the darkness with the radio on I'm thinkin' 'bout you - I know that you're leavin' I listen to the music of another sad song And think about you - I don't like this feeling at all You, you were my girl, you were my world But now you say you're goin' 'Cause I am not the guy you wanna love Now you've packed up your things, you'll get on a plane And you'll be gone forever And I think that I might just lose my mind I'm sittin' in the darkness with the radio on I'm thinkin' 'bout you - I know that you're leavin' I listen to the music of another sad song And think about you - I don't like this feeling at all I gave you my love, I gave you my life From the first time that I met you And you said you would be forever for me But we, we grew apart and I lost your heart And now you say you're goin' And I think that I might just lose my mind I'm sittin' in the darkness with the radio on I'm thinkin' 'bout you - I know that you're leavin' I listen to the music of another sad song And think about you - I don't like this feeling I'm sittin' in the darkness with the radio on I'm thinkin' 'bout you - I know that you're leavin' I listen to the music of another sad song And think about you - I don't like this feeling at all BREAK I'm sittin' in the darkness with the radio on I'm thinkin' 'bout you - I know that you're leavin' I listen to the music of another sad song And think about you - I don't like this feeling I'm sittin' in the darkness with the radio on I'm thinkin' 'bout you - I know that you're leavin' I listen to the music of another sad song And think about you - I don't like this feeling at all All words and music ©2014 by John Speckine
