I'm Only Thinking of Him

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 should hear about it. Heaven knows what he will do! Oh, 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; I know I know my dear; I'm only thinking of him; Of course you are, my dear; I'm only thinking and worrying about him; I understand. HOUSEKEEPER 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 the very heart of me There is Christian charity I'm only thinking and worrying about him! 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 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 honor as I cry... I'm only thinking of him; I'm only thinking of him; I'm only thinking and worrying about him. ANTONIA Woe, woe, woe, woe, woe, woe, Woe, woe, woe, woe, woe. PADRE I know, I know, my dear; Of course you are, my dear; I understand. HOUSEKEEPER Woe! ANTONIA Woe! PADRE 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! ANTONIA, HOUSEKEEPER Woe, woe, woe, woe, woe, etc.
