I'm Only Thinking of Him (Man Of La Mancha/1965 Original Broadway Cast/Remastered 2000)

Padre, on my way here I was informed by at least 10 people!

Yes Padre, my uncle is the laughing stock of the entire neighborhood!
But in spite of the humiliation,
his madness is bringing down upon our heads

*(sung)*
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
Its 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 shall 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

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
For who his own true love shall be
God forbid that in his madness
He should ever think its 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 know I know, my dear

I'm only thinking of him

of course you are my dear

I'm only thinking of him
I'm only thinking of him

I understand

Oooooooh!

Oooooooh!

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!
