I'm Only Thinking of Him lyrics

[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 shall hear about it

Heaven knows what he will do

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]

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

For 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 honour as I cry

I'm only thinking of him

[Padre]

I know, I know, of course you are, my dear

[Housekeeper]

I'm only thinking of him

I'm only thinking of him

[Padre]

I understand

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
