Appearances
Overview
"I'll Think About You" was originally written by Rivers Cuomo on July 14, 1994, while visiting his mother in Connecticut, and demoed around the same time. The song was revisited in 1997 when Cuomo considered it for his side-project, Homie. Cuomo recorded a DA-88 demo in September of that year and performed it at Homie concerts in November. During live performances, Cuomo acknowledged the song's resemblance to the theme song to Sesame Street.
Cuomo demoed the song in September of 1997 with Drew Parsons on bass, Jay Buckley on keyboards, and Fred Eltringham on drums. This demo was released in 2008 on the compilation Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo. The group subsequently recorded "I'll Think About You" as part of a full Homie album, likely at Fort Apache Studios in Boston, but none of these recordings have surfaced and may be lost.

Lyrics
I've been standin' here
For a long, long time
Thinkin' 'bout the fight we had, oh
Now maybe we're all through
Or we've just begun
But there's just one thing I need to say, hey hey
Everywhere I go
And everything I do
No matter whose I am,
I'll think about you
It may have been a game
It might have hurt a lot
But no one put you in that ring, oh
And so we kissed goodbye
You know I love you true
You know I love playin' with you, oh
Everywhere I go
Everything I do
Ten years down the road
Ten girls under my shoe,
No matter whose I am,
I’ll think about you
Everywhere I go
And everything I do
Ten years down the road
Oh! Ten girls under my shoe,
No matter whose I am,
I’ll think about you
I’ll think about you...
