About In My Pocket

"In My Pocket" is a song by American recording artist Mandy Moore for her self-titled third studio album. It was released on May 29, 2001, by Epic Records as the lead single from the record. The teen pop song takes influences from pop rock genres and was written by Randall Barlow, Emilio Estefan, Liza Quintana, and Gian Marco Zignago. It was produced by Emilio Estefan Jr. & Randall M. Barlow. "In My Pocket" is a dance-pop and teen pop, with a Middle Eastern sound; the song was notably more mature than Moore's past material, and was an entirely different approach for her as an artist at the time. Opening to mixed reviews from music critics, "In My Pocket" instantly entered the top 30 in Australia and New Zealand. In the United States, the single received minor success, failing to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. However, it debuted at number two on the chart's extension, Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles, on June 12, 2001. The song also reached number 20 on the Billboard Pop 100 component chart, where it charted for nine weeks.

Among the many muted faces
You try to find me in the spaces
You're drawn to my song
You only move to keep from sinking
You close your eyes as if your thinking
Afraid all along
That in my eyes you're so revealing 
You'll find what you're needing

Nothing but pennies in my pocket
Nothing but faith to keep me warm
But, baby, then I'd be broke without it
Tell me, how much for your love

Hoping the melody will leave you
You walk to where I might not see you
Reach out to the wind
Looking to catch it for a minute
But just to hold it not be in it
I've been where you've been
Cause some how I'm so afraid the love will reveal what you're made of

Nothing but pennies in my pocket
Nothing but faith to keep me warm
But, baby, then I'd be broke without it
Tell me, how much for your love

Nothing but pennies in my pocket
Nothing but faith to keep me warm
But, baby, then I'd be broke without it
Tell me, how much for your love

Cause somehow I'm so afraid the love will reveal what you're made of 

Nothing but pennies in my pocket
Nothing but faith to keep me warm
But, baby, then I'd be broke without it
Tell me, how much for your love
