Wonder What She Thinks of Me

"**Wonder What She Thinks of Me**" is the twelfth track off Chloe x Halle's sophomore album *Ungodly Hour*, released on June 12, 2020, through Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records. The song was written and produced by Chloe and Halle Bailey.

## Background

According to Halle, the themes of "Don't Make It Harder on Me" and this song as well are kind of hand in hand.

> There was this amazing guy who’s so sweet, and it just talks about this bond that you have with somebody and how this person came out of nowhere. And then all of a sudden, you kind of find yourself wanting that person, but they’re in a situation and you’re in a situation, and you don’t want to seem like you’re trying to take this girl’s man. We spun it into this story of being the other woman—even though, just so you know, Chloe and I were never that. So we pushed that story so far, and it was really fun and exciting to talk about, because I don’t think we had ever experienced or heard another song that was talking about the perspective of the other woman—the woman who is on the side or the girl who wishes so badly that she could be with him and is always there for him.

## Lyrics

I wonder what she thinks of me

When you're coming home

I know that she smells my perfume under your cologne

I wonder what she thinks of me

When you stay awake

After you make love to her, but I'm still on your brain

I'm not the jealous type, not like the other guys

I wish you all the best, I'll help you pick her dress

And you can both go to Paris, you're livin' the lavish

I'm actually happy for you

So tell me, tell me, baby

I know this is crazy

You've done this before, so

Who are you to judge me? Me?

It's never wrong when you're in love

I wonder what she thinks of me

When she sees that mark on your neck

Oh, no, I didn't mean to go that far

I wonder what she thinks of me

When she sees my name on your phone screen

You drop everything just for me

You know behind the scenes, you tell me everything

I know you don't forget how much you needed me

And while you two enjoy Paris, your lovin' is careless

But it's not ever with me

So tell me, tell me, baby

I know this is crazy

You've done this before so

Who are you to judge me? Me?

It's never wrong when you're in love

Tell me, tell me, baby

I know this is dangerous

You've done this before so

Who are you to judge me? Me?

It's never wrong when you're in, you're in love

(Oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh)

(Oh) Love

Tell me, tell me, baby

I know this is dangerous

You've done this before so

Who are you to judge me? Me?

It's never wrong when you're in, you're in love

It's never wrong when it feels right

I'll hold you close and pretend you're mine

I'll be the sun against your skin

I'll be there when she's not listening

You can call me crazy, boy

Oh, yeah, we'll both be crazy, boy

Tell me you love me 'cause I just wanna be your baby

Well, that's the price I've gotta pay

I wonder what she thinks of me
