Jessica Simpson is infatuated with a guy at school in the fetching "I Think I'm In Love With You."
Simpson "oohs" over the John Mellencamp sample, "Jack and Diane." It sets a midwestern tone. In the first verse, she says that when he's talking with a friend with hers, she can't form a thought. She gets nervous and forgets her vowels. Her friends will say they spotted him somewhere and she can't maintain her composure. Her friends have noticed the change in her. It's not how she ordinarily acts and she has a guess as to what may be causing it.
"Every time you're near baby/I get kinda crazy in my head for you/I don't know what to do/And oh baby/I get kinda shaky when they mention you/I just lose my cool/My friends tell me/Something has come over me/And I think I know what it is/I think I'm in love."
In the chorus, she says that she might have a crush on the guy. She's checking to see if she has lipstick on her teeth or that she's has the right shoes with the right jeans. Around her friends, she talks about him endlessly and how much she likes him.
"Boy I think that I'm in love with you/
I'll be doin' silly things when it comes to you/Boy I think that I'm in love with you (I'm in love)/I've been telling all my friends what I feel for you."
In the second verse, she and her friends were hanging out at the 24-hour Coney restaurant. He and his friends were there also. He caught her eye and gave her a wide smile, which stunned her. She didn't expect it.
"Just the other night baby/I saw you hangin'/You were with your crew I was with mine too/You took me by surprise/When you turn and look me in my eyes/Boy you really blow my mind/I don't know what's gotten into me/But, I think I know what it is/I think I'm in love."
The chorus is sung twice.
