• I was 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 did not go and shout it when you walked into the 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 that I never felt this way
  
  I don't know what I'm up against
  I don't know what it's all about
  I got so much to think about
  
  Hey, 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 never felt this way
  
  Believe me you really don't have to worry
  I only wanna make you happy and if you say "hey go away" I will
  But I think better still I'd better 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
  I think I love you
  I think I love you
  I think I love you
  I think I love you
  I think I love you
  I think I love you
  I think I love you Writer/s: TONY ROMEO

• Da from Minn.The word "Oh" is missing from the end of the song in the lyrics above. The phrase "I think I love you!" is followed by "Oh, I think I love you!" and repeated several times before fading out.
• Lzalewski from PaSome of the greatest pop music of the early 1970s. Professional songwriters gave David Cassidy some great material. "You Were Always on My Mind" is exceptional catchy stuff. So many others. David was a unique vocalist.
