Ive Got To Stop Thinkin Bout That

James Taylor

Transposer:

Intro: (x4) verse 1: I like to think about the time I met you Living with your people down in New Orleans. Mad at your mama cause she’d never let you Ride in no nasty limousine. Pre-Chorus Later on the levee with the moon up above I lost my heart and confessed my love Oh now Lucy said God have mercy I’ve got to stop thinkin’ ’bout that somehow. Break: Does me no damn good. verse 2: One Summer night in a field of wheat God’s sweet lanterns hanging in the sky. Moving light on your tiny feet I knew I had to love you till the day I die. Pre-Chorus They talk about Amazing Grace it meant something when I saw your face. Oh now Lucy said God have mercy I’ve got to stop thinkin’ ’bout that Oh Lucy said I can’t stop thinkin’ bout you. Bridge: I think of all the little things that I never told you I think I may get to hold you someday. It’s my brain just like a man possessed I can’t do me no work I can’t get me no rest Break: I can’t understand it baby. (x3) verse 3: Don’t like to think about the way it ended I hate remembering the things that I said. I dream a dream of love so splendid I wake up hard in an empty bed. Pre-Chorus I wonder who’ll be loving you next Some fool will be writing bad checks. Oh now Lucy said God have mercy I’ve got to stop thinkin’ ’bout you Somehow baby Lord have mercy I’ve got to stop thinkin’ ’bout that Outro:

La chanson évoque des souvenirs d'amour nostalgiques, marqués par des rencontres romantiques et des moments passés ensemble, notamment à New Orleans. Le narrateur se remémore une relation intense mais tumultueuse, pleine de belles promesses et de regrets. À travers ses pensées, il exprime une sorte de tourment : bien qu'il ait connu des instants de bonheur, il sent qu'il doit apprendre à lâcher prise sur ces souvenirs qui le hantent et l'empêchent de progresser. Le contexte de la chanson semble tourner autour d'une passion déchue, mêlant des souvenirs joyeux à une douleur persistante. Le narrateur souhaite avancer mais se heurte à la difficulté de faire face à son passé, symbolisé par le personnage de Lucy qui lui rappelle la nécessité de stopper ces pensées envahissantes. C’est un portrait touchant de l’amour, de la perte et de la lutte intérieure.
