Thinking of You Katy Perry Live Music Video

"Thinking of You" is the third single of Katy Perry from her 2008 album One of the Boys. It is one of three tracks from the album written solely by Perry and the first single since Ur So Gay to be produced by another producer (Butch Walker), besides Dr. Luke. Perry performed the song as the official single of her hit album, One of the Boys for the first time on MuchMusic HQ's MuchOnDemand on December 15, 2008.

"Thinking of You" also features on the compilation CD's Now That's What I Call Music! 72 and Now That's What I Call Music! 30 of the UK and US respectively. The song was included in the international soundtrack to Caminho das Índias (Portuguese for Way to India), a Brazilian telenovela, which helping to propel "Thinking of You" up the charts in both Brazil and Portugal, where the telenovela is shown.

The song marked the first ballad single released by Perry, contrary to her previous singles. It initially received some positive reviews leading up to the release. Billboard wrote

"...Thinking of You is decidedly more earnest... and ended with: As a woman who has played the game for longer than most realize, she has earned her keep."

According to Mediabase, its official impact date on Top 40 radio format was January 12, 2009. It received heavy rotation from some of the big radio stations in the U.S. and, as of December 24, 2008, the song was already top 50 on the Mediabase charts. However, the song was also the first of Perry's not to break the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Top 20 and failed to make the top 10 (and in some cases the top 20) in all countries of release. source: wikipedia

Thinking of You lyrics - Katy Perry

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

You said move on
Where do I go
I guess second best
Is all I will know

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

You're like an Indian summer
In the middle of 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 waters I will test

He kissed my lips
I taste your mouth
He pulled me in
I was disgusted with myself

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...

You're the best
And yes I do regret
How I could let myself
Let you go
Now the lesson's learned
I touched it I was burned
Oh I think you should know

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
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...
