Sit Down, I Think I Love You Lyrics

Sit down, I think I love you
Anyway, I'd like to try
I can't stop thinking of you
If you go, I know i'll cry

Can't you see that I'm a desperate man?
I get high, just being around-
You oughta know what they say about the bird in the hand
and that's why
I aint leaving without you

So if you want someone to love you
Pretty baby, I'm your guy
It's not much I'm asking of you
Just to please give me a try

Can't you see that I'm a desperate man?
I get high, just being around-
You oughta know what they say about the bird in the hand
and that's why
I aint leaving without you

So if you want someone to love you
Pretty baby, I'm your guy
It's not much I'm asking of you
Just to please give me a try

Sit down, I think I love
you
Sit down, I think I love
you
Sit down, I think I love
you
Sit down, I think I love..

I love this song because this is literally my experience with love. I go up to them saying hey I love you and they say 'That's nice bye now'. It does make you desperate and think you know what folks just give me a try.

this song is a little different from the rest of the Springfield catalog - Stills used Beatles-type styling when he wrote this, sort of his imitation of the then current British Invasion bands - and why not? everybody was enjoying the Beatles, and I'm quite sure that Stills was not the only guy paying attention

People have such a close-minded idea about love these days. Back when these songs were written love was everywhere and I think it's written in that mindset of spreading the love.
