[Spoken Intro: Rhona Bennett]
I don't know why I'm still thinking about you
It's almost been twenty years

[Verse 1: Rhona Bennett]
Me and you had a thang back in '83
I'm hung up on you still anyone can see
Sitting here thinking 'bout what you meant to me
I need some help 'cause it's driving me crazy
My lips are still wet from the last time we kissed
Ooh, how long can I keep up this endless?
That's why I called after so many years
I need your help again to dry these tears

[Chorus: En Vogue & Michael Marshall]
How do I get over you?
How do I quit thinking about you?
How do I quit thinking 'bout you?
How could I get over of you?
When will I quit thinking about you?
When will I quit thinking 'bout you?

[Verse 2: Michael Marshall]
In my dreams late at night I still see your smile
Even though you've been gone now for quite a while
What is it about you that's got me so obsessed?
Missing you has sure got me depressed
But I've got the memories of all that you've said to me
Some of it bitter, some of it sweet
Now what can I say, you've touched me in a way
That nobody since has or ever could

[Chorus: En Vogue & Michael Marshall]
How do I get over you?
How do I quit thinking about you?
How do I quit thinking 'bout you?
How could I get over of you?
When will I quit thinking about you?
When will I quit thinking 'bout you?
How do I get over you?
How do I quit thinking about you?
How do I quit thinking 'bout you?
How could I get over of you?
When will I quit thinking about you?
When will I quit thinking 'bout you?

[Bridge: Rhona Bennett & Michael Marshall]
Maybe I should see someone about this pain
(About this pain)
Or maybe I should simply walk away (Walk away)
Maybe there's some self help book that I should read
(That I should read)
Or is there some doctor somewhere that I should see
(That I should see)
Now my mama says the Good Book's got the answer for me
(Good God Almighty)
I guess that deep down inside I'm not ready (Oh no no no)
'Cause I still here your voice in the wind with whispers
That nobody else can hear
Hear but me, oh, and you

[Chorus: En Vogue & Michael Marshall]
How do I get over you?
How do I quit thinking about you?
How do I quit thinking 'bout you?
How could I get over of you?
When will I quit thinking about you?
When will I quit thinking 'bout you?
How do I get over you?
How do I quit thinking about you?
How do I quit thinking 'bout you?
How could I get over of you?
When will I quit thinking about you?
When will I quit thinking 'bout you?
How do I get over you?
How do I quit thinking about you?
How do I quit thinking 'bout you?
How could I get over of you?
When will I quit thinking about you?
When will I quit thinking 'bout you?
How do I get over you?

Cindy Herron, Terry Ellis, Maxine Jones, and Dawn Robinson are the original members of the R&B girl group En Vogue. The group was put together by producers Thomas McElroy and Denzil Foster after a talent search in Oakland, California in 1989. Their debut album Born to Sing was released in 1990 and featured the #1 R&B hits “You Don’t Have To Worry,” “Lies,” and their platinum debut single “Hold On,” which also peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and won a Billboard and Soul Train Music Award. Their 1992 follow-up album Funky Divas hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200 on its way to triple platinum status. The lead single, “My Lovin' (You’re Never Gonna Get It),” helped propel that success as it hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Singles chart and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album also featured the #1 R&B hit cover of Aretha Franklin’s “Giving Him Something He Can Feel” as well as the Top 10 pop single “Free Your Mind.”

In 1993, they released the EP Runaway Love and made appearances on the TV shows In Living Color, Roc and A Different World. In 1994, they collaborated with Salt-N-Pepa on their Top 3 platinum single “Whatta Man” and in 1996 they contributed to the Set It Off soundtrack with their hit single “Don’t Let Go (Love)” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hit #1 on the R&B Singles chart.

While working on their third album, Dawn Robinson decided to leave the group due to issues with management. The group decided to go on as a trio and released their third platinum album EV3 in 1997 featuring the Top 10 R&B/Top 20 pop hit “Whatever,” which was produced and co-written by Babyface. They went on to release three more albums—Masterpiece Theatre in 2000, The Gift of Christmas in 2002, and Soul Flower in 2004. During that time, Maxine Jones left the group in 2001 and was replaced by Amanda Cole, and Cole was later replaced in 2003 by Rhona Bennett. While the original four members have reunited for performances throughout the years, the current lineup consists of Herron, Ellis, and Bennett, and they released the single “Déjà Vu” in 2016 and released their album Electric Café in 2018.
