I Think I Love You

The Partridge Family

I'm sleeping

And right in the middle of a good dream

like all at once I wake up

>From something that keeps knocking at my brain

Before I go insane

I hold my pillow to my head

And spring up in my bed

Screaming out the words I dread:

"I think I love you!" (I think I love you)

This morning, I woke up with this feeling

I didn't know how to deal with

And so I just decided to myself

I'd hide it to myself

And never talk about it

And didn't I go and shout it

When you walked into my room.

"I think I love you!" (I think I love you)

I think I love you

So what am I so afraid of?

I'm afraid that I'm not sure of

A love there is no cure for

I think I love you

Isn't that what life is made of?

Though it worries me to say

I've never felt this way

Believe me

You really don't have to worry

I only want to make you happy

And if you say,

hey, go away, I will

But I think better still

I ought to stay around and love you

Do you think I have a case?

Let me ask you to your face:

Do you think you love me?

I think I love you!
