Within the booklet of The Rarities, there is a short liner note for each song. The quote for "Do You Think of Me" reads:

“	This is one of my favorite songs from the Music Box album recording sessions. It ended up as a B-side on the “Dreamlover” single. I’m told it’s a fan-favorite so I wanted to include it on The Rarities.	”

Critical reception

In their review of the song, youknowigotsoul.com states:

“

Songs like this give a glimpse into how Mariah would eventually transition from her initial pop sound into a more R&B oriented style. Things certainly began to move in that direction with her “Daydream” album in the mid 90’s, followed by “Butterfly” after it.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wonder if you think of me
Somewhere in the shadows of your mind
Although our love could never be
I find I think about you all the time (Ooh, baby)

[Verse 2]
Am I in your fantasies?
The way you always wander into mine
And are you longing endlessly?
Just like me deep inside (Oh, baby, baby)

[Chorus]
When the nights are dark and cold
(Do you think of me, do you think of me?)
And when you're lying all alone
(Do you think of me, do you think of me?)
When you feel the touch of another love
(Do you think of me, do you think of me?)
Am I the one you're dreaming of?
(Do you think of me, do you think of me?)

[Verse 3]
I picture you embracing me
We drift away and leave the world behind, baby
But it's only make believe
Love can be so unkind (Oh, baby, baby, baby)

[Chorus]
When the nights are dark and cold
(Do you think of me, do you think of me?)
And when you're lying all alone
(Do you think of me, do you think of me?)
When you feel the touch of another love
(Do you think of me, do you think of me?)
Am I the one you're dreaming of?
(Do you think of me, do you think of me?)

[Bridge]
Hey, tell me, baby (Tell me, baby)
'Cause I need you, baby ('Cause I need you, baby)
Really love you, baby

[Chorus]
When the nights are dark and cold
(Do you think of me, do you think of me?)
And when you're lying all alone
(Do you think of me, do you think of me?)
When you feel the touch of another love
(Do you think of me, do you think of me?)
Am I the one you're dreaming of?
(Do you think of me, do you think of me?)
When the nights are dark and cold
(Do you think of me, do you think of me?)
And when you're lying all alone (When I'm lying all alone)
(Do you think of me, do you think of me?)
When you feel the touch of another love
(Do you think of me, do you think of me?)
Am I the one you're dreaming of?
(Do you think of me, do you think of me?)

[Outro]
'Cause I think about you, baby
When I'm lying all alone, yeah
I think of you
Yes, I do
