Dolly Parton – Think About Love, is a song recorded by American country music artist Dolly Parton, first released on her 1985 Real Love album. The song, written by Richard “Spady” Brannan and Tom Campbell, was an uptempo pop tune, employing (as did most of the other songs on Real Love) synthesizers and other distinctive pop flourishes. It was released as the album’s third single in November 1985 and, despite its polished pop production, reached No. 1 on the U.S. country singles charts in March 1986; the single spent a total of fourteen weeks on the chart. The song was Parton’s sixteenth number one country single as a solo artist.
The song was remixed for its single version. The remixed version of the song also served as the title track on Parton’s 1986 Think About Love album, which was composed of previously released tracks, many of which had been remixed. The single mix (the version played on the radio and available on 45) has never been released on any CD in the US or abroad. It would turn out to be Parton’s last chart-topper on RCA, her label of the previous nineteen years. (She would switch to Columbia Records in 1987).

Dolly Parton – Think About Love Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can’t forget you
Ever since the moment that I met you
You’ve been on my mind
And I need to
Somehow let you know
That I think about you all the time
[Chorus]
So when you think about love, think about me
I can give you more than you’ll ever need
Sooner or later every heart needs some company
When you think about love, think about me
When you think about love, think about me
[Verse 2]
We were strangers
Now I’m already wrapped around your finger
Oh, what’s a heart to do?
Because it lingers
And the thought of you
Wanting me as much as I want you
[Chorus]
So when you think about love, think about me
I can give you more than you’ll ever need
Sooner or later every heart needs some company
When you think about love, think about me
When you think about love, think about me
[Verse 3]
Makes me blue
I’m not holding you
Tonight
Because only you
Can satisfy
This heart of mine
[Chorus]
So when you think about love, think about me
‘Cause I can give you more than you’ll ever need
Sooner or later every heart needs some company
So when you think about love, think about me
When you think about love, think about me
‘Cause I can give you more than you’ll ever need
Sooner or later every heart needs some company
When you think about love, think about me
When you think about love, think about me
‘Cause I can give you more than you’ll ever need
Sooner or later every heart needs some company
When you think about love, think about me
When you think about love, think about me
GENIUS
