From the recording Tortology
This, much like "Fetish" from my "N.I.C" album, is a song about "obsession". I don't believe that I am by nature and obsessive person - but having written two songs on the subject, I might not be the appropriate person to judge.
Lyrics
CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT YOU\
(B. Ralston)
Feeling cold and tired and empty
Staring blankly at the wall
Even alcohol don’t tempt me any more
When the hell are you gonna call?
Been an age since I last saw you
Slinkily sidling down the street
Had to stop and stare
To catch some more of you
Now I’m squirming in my seat
Cos I can’t stop thinking about you
All your little quirks
Your smiles and smirks
I can’t stand thinking about you
The touch of your silky skin
The way your neck turns pink
When you think I’m watching you
I can’t stop thinking about you
Maybe I should leave well enough alone
Just give the game away
But I just can’t keep my eyes off that damned phone
The devil knows there’s hell to pay
Cos I can’t stop thinking about you
All your little quirks
Your smiles and smirks
I can’t stand thinking about you
The touch of your silky skin
The way your neck turns pink
When you think I’m watching you
I can’t stop thinking about you
Maybe I should rise up and call
They say that who dares wins
But probably, I’d just trip and fall
Let’s forget about the might have beens
(instrumental break)
But I can’t stop thinking about you
All your little quirks
Your smiles and smirks
I can’t stand thinking about you
The touch of your silky skin
The way your neck turns pink
When you think I’m watching you
I can’t stop thinking about you
I can’t stop thinking about you
Can’t stop thinking about you
