I Think I Love You
Written By - Tony Romeo.
I'm sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed screaming out the words I dread
I think I love you (I think I love you)
This morning I woke up with this feeling
I didn't know how to deal with
And so I just decided to myself I'd hide it to myself
And never talk about it and didn't I go and shout it
When you walked into the room
I think I love you (I think I love you)
I think I love you so what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you...isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say that I never felt this way
I don't know what I'm up against
I don't know what it's all about
I've got so much to think about
Hey..
I think I love you so what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you...isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say that I never felt this way
Believe me, you really don't have to worry
I only wanna make you happy and if you say hey go away I will
But I think better still I'd better stay around and love you
Do you think I have a case?
Let me ask you to your face
Do you think you love me?
I think I love you, I think I love you, I think I love you
I think I love you, I think I love you
Repeat and fade
As David explains in the following excerpt from the book “C’mon Get Happy…Fear and Loathing on the Partridge Family Bus” by David Cassidy & Chip Deffaa, his voice on the first two of The Partridge Family records, his voice was altered.
“Wes had some problem with the way I naturally sounded. He had me double-track vocals (the way Neil Sedaka had so often done) to give my voice added pop-ness. And by altering the tape speed, he was able to raise the pitch of my voice a half-tone above what it actually was, so that on records I sounded a little younger, lighter than in real life.”
The following two recordings highlight this. The first recording is a small part of the original recording from 1970 LP “The Partridge Family Album”. The second recording has been provided by John Gomolka who altered the original track to better reflect David’s true voice.
"I Think I love You" - Part of original recording
"I Think I love You" - altered to reflect David’s true voice.
