Lorraine Feather - I Thought You Did lyrics


ad
Ooh, great.
I thought you did,
And now I know.
Seems I’m not loco.
No lie,
I thought you did
All along.
Coulda been dead wrong.

As you can see,
I’m glad you’ve got that goin’ about me.
I think of you,
And get all Rhapsody in Blue,
Goosebumpy,
Seein’ as you're just the best,
So smart, so funny, so totally you.
I gotta give it a rest ...

Oh, but I seriously thought you did!
I saw the signs,
Read between the telephone lines,
The little clues you nearly hid,
Shyly, slyly.

Lookin’ back to the olden days,
Whenever it was we met,
I found your proper ways
Cute as kittens in a basket.
Got a peek into your head;
Fascinating in there.
You knocked me dead,
But did you care?

Now and then,
Well I really kinda thought you did.
No mystery now.
You had my heart anyhow â€â€ no doubt.
You say you never thought you did,
But you were glad to find out.

Now that you’ve told me when it started for you,
You tell me you want to know when it started for me.
Day one, definitely.
I felt the room electrify
All of a sudden.
I gasped.
You smiled.
Game over.

Ooh baby, I’m
Confessin’ that I
Thought you did, way back when.
I’d forget about it, then
Think it again, think it again,
And I’m over the moon to hear you do,

‘Cause any time I, any time I look at you,
I go tumblin’, tumblin’,
Down, down, down, into the depths of love,
Where only the strong survive.

I get all swoony,
All “Bohemian Rhapsody,”
Pleasurably insane.
It’s in that vein.

Based on Dave Grusin†™s †œMemphis Stomp,† from The Firm
Music, Dave Grusin / Lyrics, Lorraine Feather

"Last year, Dave Grusin called me to write some lyrics for a vocal album he was working on. In the course of this, one day I mentioned to Dave how I loved his †œMemphis Stomp† theme from the all-solo-piano score of The Firm. Dave suggested I write lyrics to it. The original music has such an infectious feel, and I didn†™t want to crowd it; I tried making the words somewhat sparse, offsetting the phrases in an asymmetrical way. I was excited to be able to work on this gem, and to have Dave himself on the track."
