Thinkin About Me
Brian McKnight · Other Songs - Brian McKnight
Today is your wedding day
And that's a beautiful thing
No use in me going into
The way things used to be
How I cared for you
You cared for me
And it wasn't that long ago
But I can't help but smile
As you walk down the aisle
Cause there's one thing I know, hey-hey
Every time you close your eyes at night
You know inside your heart
That something ain't right
And things are not the way that you wish they could be
Even though you're with him
I know you're thinking 'bout me
I know you're thinking 'bout me, yeah
I know you think it's easier
To lie to yourself
Even got yourself believing
You're better off with somebody else
So you sacrifice for security
Cause your impatient self didn't wanna wait for me
And you settle for
The first thing through the door
When you know what you want is me
Every time you close your eyes at night
You know inside your heart
That something ain't right
And things are not the way that you wish they could be
Even though you're with him
I know you're thinking 'bout me
I know you're thinking 'bout me, yeah
I know he thinks you're crying
Cause it's the happiest you've ever known
But girl you'd just be lying
Cause what he doesn't know
You're strong for me
You belong to me
And here's the one last chance for you to go
Cause every time you close your eyes at night
You know inside your heart
That something ain't right
And things are not the way that you wish they could be
Even though you're with him
I know you're thinking 'bout me
It may not be tomorrow
But there will come a day
But when you realize I hope its not too late
Cause things won't be the way that you wish they could be
Even though you're with him
I know you're thinking 'bout me
I know you're thinking 'bout me
I know you're thinking 'bout me
I know you're thinking 'bout me
yeah, yeah, yeah...
