Think About You Lyrics
Cha! I said, “Baby, you been lookin' real good”
You know that I remember when we met
It's funny how I never felt so good
It's a feelin' that I know, I know I'll never forget
[Bridge]
Ooh, it was the best time I can remember
Ooh, and the love we shared
Lovin' that'll last forever
[Verse 2]
Ow, there wasn't much in this heart of mine
There was a little left, and, babe, you found it
It's funny how I never felt so high
It's a feeling that I know, I know I'll never forget
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, it was the best time I can remember
Ooh, and the love we shared
Lovin' that'll last forever
[Chorus]
I think about you, honey, all the time, my heart says, “Yes”
I think about you, deep inside, I love you best
I think about you, you know you're the one I want
I think about you, darling, you're the only one
I think about you, yeah!
Hahaha!
[Post-Chorus]
I think about you, you know that I do
I think about you, all alone, only you
I think about you, ooh-oh, it's true
I think about you, oh, yes, I do
[Verse 3]
Somethin' changed in this heart of mine
You know that I'm so glad that you showed me
Honey, now you're my best friend
I wanna stay together till the very end
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, it was the best time I can remember
Ooh, and the love we shared
Lovin' that'll last forever
[Chorus]
I think about you, honey, all the time, my heart says, “Yes”
I think about you, deep inside, I love you best
I think about you, you know you're the one I want
I think about you, darling, you're the only one
[Outro]
I think about you, oh-oh yeah
I think about you, oh you
I think about you
Only you
I think about you, you know I do
I think about you, only you
I think about you
Only you
Only
You
Only
About
“Think About You” is the eighth track on Guns N' Roses' debut album Appetite for Destruction. It was mostly composed by Izzy Stradlin, then the rhythm guitarist, who even played the song’s solo. Izzy summed up the track as “a quick love song about drugs, sex, Hollywood and money.”
The song was played very frequently in GNR’s early days, but it was played less and less as time went on—only to see a revival in the early 2000s as Axl decided to finally put the long-dormant band on stage.

[“Think About You”] is a fast love song about drugs, sex, Hollywood and money.
I was never a big fan of [the song] because it was just too lightweight. But at the same time, it was one of those songs where Izzy had written the lyrics, so it was sort of like that Aerosmith song ‘Combination’ [on Rocks], which Joe Perry wrote. It was Izzy’s babbling ‘Combination’ song. I enjoyed recording it, though. I managed to get some ideas down and could walk away feeling satisfied with the way the song sounded.
[It] doesn’t have so much to do with me. Izzy wrote that one. There’s a few parts of the lyrics that I put in there, and maybe gave it a little more flow, and worded it my way since I was the one singing it. I think it’s kinda one of the ones that’s a bit hidden. That’s also with the way it was recorded. The production on “Think About You” and the way it’s done is kinda like a tribute to all those old Hanoi Rocks records. It’s something that Izzy was really into, and then he got me into it. It’s kinda like a Hanoi Rocks song the way we looked at that.
