Jesse McCartney Album

Girl,
There's something 'bout me that you ought to know.
I've never felt the need to lose control.
Always held on back and played it slow.
But not this time.
Baby, don't be gentle,
I can handle anything.

Baby,
Take me on a journey.
I've been thinking lately,
I could use a little time alone with you.
Crazy,
Let's do something, maybe.
Please don't take your time,
You got me,
Right where you want me.

Girl,
I'm gonna let you have your way with me.
When you move like that,
Its hard to breathe.
I never thought that it could be like this,
But I was wrong.
Baby, don't be gentle,
I can handle anything.

Baby,
Take me on a journey.
I've been thinking lately,
I could use a little time alone with you.
Crazy,
Let's do something, maybe.
Please don't take your time,
You got me,
Right where you want me.

Can't explain it,
How you swept me off my feet, unexpectedly.
In slow motion,
My imagination running trying to keep my body still,
I can hardly stand the thrill.

Baby, don't be gentle,
I can handle anything.

Baby,
Take me on a journey.
I've been thinking lately,
I could use a little time alone with you.
Crazy,
Let's do something, maybe.
Please don't take your time,
You got me,
Right where you want me.

I shouldn't love you but I want you
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away

I shouldn't love you but I want you
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop

[Chorus:]
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know

It's getting hard to be around you
There's so much I can't say
Do you want me to hide the feelings
And look the other way

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop

[Chorus]

This emptiness is killing me
And I'm wondering why I've waited so long
Looking back I realize
It was always there just never spoken
I'm waiting here...been waiting here

[Chorus]

I've been watchin' you
Can't believe just what I'm seeing
You've been watching me
Yea baby, better believe it
If you wanna dance
Here's your chance to make it right
If you want romance
Baby I'll take you home tonight
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I know exactly what you wanna hear
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm gonna give it to ya

[Chorus:]
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh
Baby girl it's on tonight
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh
I'm a keep ya baby by my side
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh
Hold you close and do you right
Turn off all the lights and lay back while I blow your mind
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh
Can't stop livin' this life
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh
Let's do it, you and I
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh
Baby I'm a make you mine
Gonna have to take a deep breath when I blow your mind

She left me on the floor
Kept me on my knees just begging
For a little more
Room was hot the fire burning
Never leave me girl
Show you how to keep it goin'
I'm a rock your world
Baby the temperature is growing
Oh, oh, oh, oh
She leaned over and whispered in my ear
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm gonna give it to ya

[Chorus]

So c'mon and let it ride
I feel it in your eyes
So tell me anything you want
Because there's nothing I wouldn't do

[Chorus]

I could tell by the look in her eyes
Maybe I'm just one of her lies
'Cause I know we've been through this so many times
Still I'm here though I'm burning up inside

[Chorus:]
And I try to walk away but I keep telling myself
She's the one for me
'Cause her love is so contagious
It keeps pulling me in
We were meant to be
And I can't leave her
We're right back in the water

I could tell by the look in her eyes
All my friends keep telling me now's the time
But I know
Just the notion saying goodbye
Breaks my heart it tears me up inside

[Chorus]

So we're right back singing
Ooooh, ooooh c'mon, ooooh, ooooh c'mon
I wanna walk by but there is something that won't let me
Ooooh, ooooh c'mon, ooooh, ooooh c'mon
She's the one that's always there
I could tell by the look in her eyes
Maybe I'm just another one of her lies

[Chorus]

She left me hangin' by a thread again
I stood there waiting like a fool for her
I never dreamed that I'd be in this place
But here I am all alone
It's not the first time that she's walked away
Changed all our plans within the blink of an eye
And looking back it's always been the same
But I refused to see it all for what it was

[Chorus:]
Has anybody ever felt this way
Has anybody been ripped apart
Anybody give everything to the one they love
Am I the only one left behind
Am I the only one who hates goodbyes
God I know this can't go on forever

I wonder if she ever thinks of me
And all the promises she swore to keep
Some nights I lay in bed just burning up
'Cause I know that she's out with someone else

[Chorus]

I was the one who gave up everything for her
When no one would listen I heard every word, oh
It took me so long to see that maybe I am better off alone

[Chorus X2]

God I know this can't go on
All I wanna do is just move on
God I know this can't go on forever
Yeah I know this won't go on forever
God I know this can't go on forever

I know how it feels
To wake up without her
Lying here all alone
Just thinking about her

I can't believe
Her hold on me
It's something indescribable
I know she knows
But won't you please

[Chorus:]
If you see my girl
Just tell her I miss her smile
Tell her I'm counting the minutes
Gonna see her in a little while
I know when she
Holds on to me
She's the one thing that I could never live without
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And tell her I love her

Oh yeah, just tell her I love her
The way that she moves
You know what it does to me
And when I catch her eye
I can hardly breathe

Still can't believe
Her hold on me
She's just so indescribable
I know she knows
But won't you please, please

[Chorus]

Every time that I'm around her
I just go to pieces crashing tumbling to the ground
I'm so glad I found her
I know how it feels

[Chorus]

Oh yeah, just tell her I love her

I trusted you
Yeah that would be my first mistake
Yeah I...I've been lied to
Your eyes are ice cold blue
A mirror of the heart inside of you

You can't walk back in my life
You had your chance to be by my side
I don't have to hear you cry to know

[Chorus:]
Just go
I gave you my word and I promised to love you
Go, it's over
You had your chance
Just go
There's nothing inside me that still feels connected to you
To me you're already gone

I got a new love now
She's my new love now
And she loves me so
Takes me where you never took me
Although you tried too
Her eyes they read so true
So different from the way it was with you

I don't need you in my life
Forgot what it's like to be satisfied
I don't wanna hear you cry 'cause I know

[Chorus]

Takin' a look at these photographs
Fightin' my tears I try to relax
'Cause you came and you left and it all went by so fast

[Chorus X2]

I got a new love now
I trusted you
And that would be my first mistake

Yeah...
My heart was jumpin' for her
My head was spinnin' in circles
My tongue was tied
I tried, but couldn't find the words
She had them eyes of fire
The ones you can't put out
She saw a sucker for lovin'
And turned my world around

[Chorus:]
Oh, I just can't let you go
My mind is not my own
And I can't eat, can't sleep
I'm in too deep
Oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh, I just can't let you go

Whoa, I just can't let you go
One look in my condition
I see you in my dreams
And every night I fight
To keep my sanity
She's like a roller coaster
And I'm afraid of heights
But still there's nothing to stop me
From getting off this ride

[Chorus]

So many times I've tried
To get her out of my life
But she knows I'm addicted
To the taste of her lips
My strength is drifting away
My body's aching with pain
I can't hold on
I can't hold on any longer

[Chorus X2]

Slow down
Things have been a little crazy
Right now
It's time to get away
You can find out
What it is you're really after
Time is on our side
C'mon we're leaving everything behind

[Chorus:]
You know that sun is shining
We'll keep driving
Doesn't matter where
'Cause we got that open highway
Leading our way
As long as you are there
We can go anywhere

Breakdown
All the pressure that surrounds you
Allow it all to fade away
We can move on
Looking in the rear view mirror
Wave goodbye
C'mon we're leaving everything behind

[Chorus]

We're gonna be so far gone
Some place we ain't never been before
Find a new favourite song
We'll end up right where we belong

[Chorus]

Come with me everything will be alright
Movin' on 'cause we're leaving it all behind

I see something in you
Something nobody sees
I see yellow and blue
Yeah, the sunshine and the sea
When I think of love I think of you
Yeah it's my favourite thing to do
You're my missing puzzle piece
Yeah you are, perfect for me

[Chorus:]
You walk into a room
All eyes are on you
Everyone wants to know your name
Baby you make 'em swoon
Yeah baby you're so smooth
You take every breath I breathe away
I just wanna tell you baby
How much I am feelin' you

You, you, you, you, you
Yeah, you got your own rules
I don't mind playing your way
Baby take me to school
And I'll listen to every word you say

[Chorus]

I'm right where I wanna be
Next to you standing next to me
Oh baby why don't you take my hand
And we'll walk to the other side
Where all we see is that love is blind
I think by now you understand
Just wanna tell you baby
How much I am feelin'...

[Chorus]

I said don't do it babe
Said it ain't worth it baby
But you did it anyway
Four or five drinks and you were on your way

September 1st, 2003
It took the life right out of me
Hung up the phone
Raced out the door
Broken
Tried to believe that it wasn't true
But in my heart I always knew
That being the life of the party would catch up to you
Your family was waiting and crying for three damn hours

[Chorus:]
I said don't do it babe
Said it ain't worth it baby
But you did it anyway
Four or five drinks and you were on your way
Everything was cool on the straight away
But you took that turn doing eighty-five in a thirty-five
Why babe?

Every time I'm home I pass that road
Driving alone and the street is cold
Seeing your face yeah it's haunting me
My mind goes crazy tryin' to figure out
Just where you would be four years from now
And what you were thinking when the lights came down
Doctors were trying to save you for three damn hours

[Chorus]

Who ever said that life was fair
When you live without a care
When you're invincible
When you're invincible
When you're invincible
Who thinks about leaving when you're livin'

[Chorus]

You just turned eighteen a week ago
You want to learn what you don't know
You're grown up don't need permission
Find out what you've been missin'
It took some time but now you really want to figure out
Just what it is that all the other girls are talkin' 'bout

And it's driving you're mama crazy
'Cause daddy's little girl is now my baby

I think you're ready baby
I think you're ready baby
Come on and get it baby
I think you're
I think you're

You've always followed all the rules
Done just what you're supposed to
Stick the key in the ignition and light it up
Have a taste of what it's like to be old enough
Move your body baby let me see you work it
Looking at you make me wanna blow a circuit

And it's driving you're mama crazy
'Cause daddy's little girl is now my baby

[Chorus:]
I think you're ready baby
I think you're ready baby
Come on and get it baby
I think you're, I think you're
I think you're ready baby
Daddy's little girl is ready baby yeah
I think you're ready baby
I think you're, I think you're

Tell me girl if I'm mistaken
All the signals that you're makin'
Brought you to the road you're takin'
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, let's go
Girl shake what your mama gave you
Shake it like you're trying to break it
'Bout to start an earthquake

[Chorus]
