Not Thinkin’ Bout You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been telling my friends I'm cool, I finally got you out my head
But if I gotta walk by your house I take the long way home instead
'Cause I guess if I see you outside and you act like, who am I? I won't let myself forget
'Cause every time, every time, every time I see you I know I'm not ready yet
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I don't want somebody else, feels like I'm going through hell
So I just lie to myself just to prove
[Chorus]
I'm not thinkin' 'bout you, you
I'm not thinkin' 'bout you, you
I don't wanna think about
[Verse 2]
You got me feeling things I swear that I have never felt
And you have a way with saying words that always stick around
And if I saw you outside hanging out with another guy like you're better off without
No, I would try, I would try, I would try to look away till I convince myself
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I don't want somebody else, feels like I'm going through hell
So I just lie to myself just to prove
[Chorus 2]
I'm not thinkin' 'bout you, you (Oh)
I'm not thinkin' 'bout you, you
No, I don't wanna think about
No, I don't wanna think about you, no
[Bridge]
Suddenly I'm thinking 'bout
All the times we had, keep on rushin' back
Fillin' up my head, I don't wanna think about
What I'm feeling now, I wanna push it down
I wanna block it out, I don't wanna think about
[Chorus 3]
You, you
No, I don't wanna think about (You, you, you)
No, I don't wanna think about (You, you, you)
No, I don't wanna think about (You, you, you)
No, I don't wanna think about

What was the songwriting process like?
I remember there was a keys player in there and he was just playing the same four chords over and over again.
