Thinking of You" is a song by American singer-songwriter Katy Perry, taken from her second studio album, One of the Boys(2008). The song was released on January 12, 2009 as the album's third single. The song was written by Perry and produced byButch Walker, and is a pop rock and soft rock power ballad. Lyrically, the song deals with a break-up in which Perry does not want to move on but has no choice, and feels nostalgic of a previous lover while in a relationship with another man. It is one of the three songs on the album that Perry wrote solely herself along "Fingerprints" and "Mannequin".
The song received generally positive reviews from music critics; however, it is Perry's lowest charting single from One of the Boys. The song peaked at number 29 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming the album's only single to fail to reach the Top 20 in the United States, and peaked at number 27 in the United Kingdom. There are two music videos released for the song. The first was released in 2007 and featured Perry in two different rooms, black and white, and was directed by a friend of hers. The second was the commercial release in 2008 which was set in the 1940s and featured Perry playing a woman who lost her lover, a soldier (played by Matt Dallas), in battle during World War II. Perry began playing the song during gigs as early as 2006, and performed the song on all of her concert tours: the Hello Katy Tour, the California Dreams Tour and The Prismatic World Tour.
lyrics
Comparisons are easily done once you've
Had a taste of perfection.
Like an apple hanging from a tree, I picked the
Ripest one, I still got the seed.
[Pre-Chorus]
You said move on,
Where do I go?
I guess second best,
Is all I will know.
[Chorus]
Cause when I'm with him, I am
Thinking of you, thinking of you.
What you would do if,
You were the one who was
Spending the night?
Oh I wish that I,
Was looking into your eyes.
[Verse 2]
You're like an Indian summer in the
Middle of a winter, like a
Hard candy, with a
Surprise center.
How do I get better once I've had
The best? You said there's
Tons of fish in the water, so the water's I will test.
[Pre-Chorus]
He kissed my lips,
I taste your mouth.
He pulled me in,
I was disgusted with myself.
[Chorus]
Cause when I'm with him, I am
Thinking of you, thinking of you.
What you would do if,
You were the one who was
Spending the night?
Oh I wish that I,
Was looking into your...
[Hook]
The best!
And yes, I do regret.
How I could let myself, let you go?!
Now, now the lesson's learned.
I touched it I was burned,
Oh, I think you should know!
[Bridge]
Cause when I'm with him, I am
Thinking of you, thinking of you.
What you would do if,
You were the one who was
Spending the night?
Oh I wish that I,
Was looking into your...
[Outro]
Your eyes!
Looking into your eyes,
Looking into your eyes.
Oh, won't you walk through!
And bust in the door, and
Take me away.
Oh, no more mistakes,
Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay.
Stay.
Had a taste of perfection.
Like an apple hanging from a tree, I picked the
Ripest one, I still got the seed.
[Pre-Chorus]
You said move on,
Where do I go?
I guess second best,
Is all I will know.
[Chorus]
Cause when I'm with him, I am
Thinking of you, thinking of you.
What you would do if,
You were the one who was
Spending the night?
Oh I wish that I,
Was looking into your eyes.
[Verse 2]
You're like an Indian summer in the
Middle of a winter, like a

Looking into your eyes,
Looking into your eyes.

Stay.
