Lyrics
THINKIN' BLUES
Music & Lyrics by Denise Dimin/Reel2Real Songs

I'm sittin' here, thinkin' about you.
Lord, the things I have to do.
To convince myself I don't love you.
And put myself above you.
But it's no good.
Though my mind's in control,
My heart is rarin' to go.
I know you didn't have time to care.
When you left, you left unaware.
Of the heart that you had broken.
The words you left unspoken.
All the dreams that weren't promised.
The times you wouldn't let me give my love.
So I face the fact of being alone.
I sing my voice in a cheery tone.
Expand on my fantasies.
Gold-plate a forgotten key
That's locked and sealed a door
That won't be used anymore.
I sing my voice in a cheery tone.
Expand on my fantasies.
Gold-plate a forgotten key
That's locked and sealed a door
That won't be used anymore.
I'm sittin' here, thinkin' about you.
Lord, the things I have to do.
To convince myself I don't love you.
And put myself above you.
But it's no good.
Though my mind's in control,
My heart is rarin' to go.
Well, I'm sittin' here thinkin' about you, boy!
Hmmm...
Thinkin', well, I'm thinkin' about you.
About the things I have to do.
Oh, yeah, to convince myself I don't love you, yeah.
Can you heal me? Can you feel me?
I'm thinkin' about you.
Hmmm...
Sittin' here thinkin' about you.
