I’m Only Thinking of Him

[ANTONIA]
I'm only thinking of him
I'm only thinking of him
Whatever I may do or say
I'm only thinking of him
In my body, it's well known
There is not one selfish bone
I'm only thinking and worrying about him!

I've been told he's chasing dragons
And I fear it may be true
If my groom should hear about it
Heaven knows what he will do!
Oh, I dearly love my uncle
But for what he's done to me
I would like to take and lock him up
And throw away the key!

But if I do, but if I do
There is one thing that I swear will still be true!
I'm only thinking of him

[PADRE]
I know, I know, my dear

[ANTONIA]
I'm only thinking of him

[PADRE]
Of course you are, my dear

[ANTONIA]
I'm only thinking of him

[PADRE]
I understand

[HOUSEKEEPER]
I'm only thinking of him
I'm only thinking of him
Whatever I may do or say
I'm only thinking of him
In the very heart of me
There is Christian charity
I'm only thinking and worrying about him!

Oh, I think he's been too lonely
Living years without a spouse
So when he returns
I fear I may have trouble in the house
For they say he seeks a lady
Who his own true love shall be
God forbid that in his madness
He should ever think it's me!

If he should try
I'll surely die
And I will grimly guard my honor as I cry
I'm only thinking of him

[ANTONIA]
Woe, woe

[PADRE]
I know, I know, my dear

[HOUSEKEEPER]
I'm only thinking of him

[ANTONIA]
Woe, woe

[PADRE]
Of course you are, my dear

[HOUSEKEEPER]
I'm only thinking of him

[ANTONIA]
Woe, woe, oh woe

[PADRE]
I understand

[HOUSEKEEPER]
Woe!

[ANTONIA]
Woe!

[PADRE]
They're only thinking of him
They're only thinking of him
How saintly is their plaintive plea
They're only thinking of him
What a comfort to be sure
That their motives are so pure
As they go thinking and worrying about him!
