Think it over what you just said 
Think it over in your pretty little head 
Are you sure that Iâ??m not the one 
Is your love real or only fun 
You think it over, yes, think it over 
A lonely heart grows cold and old 

Think it over and let me know 
Think it over but donâ??t be slow 
Just remember all birds and bees 
Go by twos through lifeâ??s mysteries 
You think it over, yes, think it over 
A lonely heart grows cold and old 

Think it over and think of me 
Think it over and you will see 
A happy day when you and I 
Think as one and kiss the blues goodbye 
You think it over, yes, think it over 
A lonely heart grows cold and old
