[Verse 1]
A tornado flew around my room before you came
Excuse the mess it made, it usually doesn't rain in Southern California, much like Arizona
My eyes don't shed tears, but boy, they pour when

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm thinkin' 'bout you (Ooh no, no, no)
I've been thinkin' bout you (You know, know, know)
I've been thinkin' bout you, do you think about me still?
Do ya, do ya?

[Chorus]
Or do you not think so far ahead
Cause I be thinkin' bout forever, ooh
Or do you not think so far ahead
Cause I be thinkin' bout forever, ooh

[Verse 2]
No, I don't like you, I just thought you were cool enough to kick it
Got a beach house I could sell you in Idaho
Since you think I don't love you, I just thought you were cute, that's why I kissed you
Got a fighter jet, I don't get to fly it though, I'm lying down

[Pre-Chorus]
Thinkin' 'bout you (Ooh no, no, no)
I've been thinkin' bout you (You know, know, know)
I've been thinkin' bout you, do you think about me still?
Do ya, do ya?

[Chorus]
Or do you not think so far ahead
Cause I be thinkin' bout forever, ooh
Or do you not think so far ahead
Cause I be thinkin' bout forever, ooh

[Bridge]
Yes of course I remember, how could I forget how you feel?
You know you were my first time, a new feel
It will never get old, not in my soul, not in my spirit, keep it alive
We'll go down this road 'til it turns from color to black and white

[Chorus]
Or do you not think so far ahead
Cause I been thinkin' bout forever, ooh
Or do you not think so far ahead
Cause I been thinkin' bout forever, ooh

Bridget Kelly

Bridget Kelly (first known as “that chick who fills in for Alicia Keys at Jay Z’s live shows”) is a pop and R&B singer/songwriter.

She signed with Roc Nation in 2008 and regularly filled in for Alicia Keys' part on “Empire State of Mind;” they parted ways in 2014.

When she worked on starting her solo career in 2011, she and her production team approached Frank Ocean to write a song for her debut EP, Every Girl. Ocean agreed, and penned one of his more notable “Thinking Bout Forever.” His version leaked online, however, which turned out to be a breakout hit.
