Thinking Of You - Loggins & Messina (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)

Thinking Of You (Loggins & Messina, 1973). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2022-04-03. "Keeping the Oldies Alive"

Written by Jim Messina, "Thinking Of You" was Loggins and Messina's second top 20 hit landing at the #18 position in 1973 (Whitburn, 2013). Messina was originally in the bands Buffalo Springfield and Poco, and in 1971, he was producing Kenny Loggins' first solo album release; because Messina was so involved in the project, they credited the album to “Kenny Loggins with Jim Messina” and the title was "Sittin’ In" (P. Bausch, ontherecords.net, Jul. 18, 2017). Messina wrote "Thinking Of You" for his then girlfriend and is found on Loggins and Messina's 1973 self-titled album (songfacts.com, 2022).

Lyrics:

Something inside of me
Is taking it hard each day
Something inside of me
Is making me feel this way
Whenever you're near me, you've got me thinking of you

Something about your eyes
Won't let me look away
Something about your smile
That's making it hard to say
Whenever you're near me, you've got me thinking of you

You know, you've got me singing a song
Whenever you're around me I just want to belong
To you, I would give all of my love
I wish that I could tell you all what I'm thinking of

Something inside of me
Won't let me begin the day
Something inside of me
Is making it hard to say
Whenever you're near me, you've got me thinking of you
Whenever you're near me, you've got me thinking of you
Whenever you're near me, you've got me thinking of you
