Thinkin Bout You - Spring Sampler / 2012 Lyrics
Frank Ocean
Lyrics
A tornado flew around my room before you came
Excuse the mess it made
It usually doesn't rain
Southern California much like Arizona
My eyes don't shed, but boy, they bawl
When I'm thinkin bout you
Ooh no no no
I've been thinkin bout you
You know know know
I've been thinkin bout you
Do you think about me still?
Do you? Do you?
Or do you not think so far ahead?
Cause I've been thinkin bout forever
Ooh
Or do you not think so far ahead?
Cause I've been thinkin bout forever
Ooh
No I don't like you I just thought you were cool
Enough to kick it
Got a beach house I could sell you in Idaho
Since you think I don't love you
I just thought you were cute
That's why I kissed you
Got a fighter jet, I don't get to fly it though
I'm lying down
Thinkin bout you
Ooh no no no
I've been thinkin bout you
You know know know
I've been thinkin bout you
Do you think about me still?
Do you? Do you?
Or do you not think so far ahead?
Cause I've been thinkin bout forever
Ooh
Or do you not think so far ahead?
Cause I've been thinkin bout forever
Ooh
Yes of course
I remember how can I forget
How you feel
You know, you were my first time
A new feel
It will never get old
Not in my soul, not in
My spirit, keep it alive
We'll go down this road til it turns from colour to black and white
Or do you not think so far ahead?
Cause I've been thinkin bout forever
Ooh
Or do you not think so far ahead?
Cause I've been thinkin bout forever
Ooh
