[Verse 1]
Lately he's been thinkin’
Been thinkin' of Japan
And every time he hears
The word, he feels like cryin'
Oh, he’s never even been there
But he's been close to you
Close enough to feel somehow
Everything you're feelin' now

[Chorus]
Thinkin' of Japan
Thinkin' of Japan
Thinkin' of Japan

[Verse 2]
The earliest memory of you
Your dancin' shape that graced the view
Against the backdrop of the bay
The blue hills slippin’ through their shades
It was just a photo (It was just a photo)
A simple photo of Kyoto
I might go alone
Thought you’d like to know

[Chorus]
Thinkin' of Japan
Thinkin’ of Japan
Thinkin' of Japan
Thinkin' of Japan
[Bridge]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I don't know how to pass the time
I don’t know how to pass the time
I don't know (Thinkin', thinkin')
I don't know (Of Japan)
I don't know (Thinkin', thinkin')
How to pass the time (Of Japan)
I don't know (Thinkin', thinkin')
I don't know (Of Japan)
I don't know

[Outro]
Lately I've been dreamin'
Dreamin' of Japan
And every time I hear
The word I feel like sighin'
