Caught Up In You
Tekst:
I don’t know don’t know what to do
I’m so caught [x2]
Caught Up In You
Heart stops turn into a robot
Now my eyes are bloodshot I’m still awake
Running thoughts of you keep coming
Shooting like a gun it blew me away
Fire and rain pleasure and pain
I’m playing innocent but I’ am guilty
You’ve got a hold on my control
I’m backed in a corner with you
I don’t know what to do cause
I feel caught can’t try and hide
My hands are up and everyone knows it’s true
I’m so Caught Up In You
I’m giving up
I don’t know don’t know what to do
I’m so caught [x2]
Caught Up In You
Caught Up In You
Laying in this cold,dark room without you
Paining anxiously awaiting but you keep me hanging without a clue
I’m playing innocent but I’ am guilty
You’ve got a hold on my control
I’m backed in a corner with you
I don’t know what to do cause
I feel caught can’t try and hide
My hands are up and everyone knows it’s true
I’m so Caught Up In You
I’m giving up
I don’t know don’t know what to do
I’m so caught [x2]
Caught Up In You
Caught Up In You
I’m backed in a corner with you
I don’t know what to do cause
I feel caught can’t try and hide
My hands are up and everyone knows it’s true
I’m so Caught Up In You [x2]
I’m giving up
I don’t know don’t know what to do
I’m so caught [x2]
Caught Up In You
Gold
Shake
Treat Myself
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Can't sleep through the night again
Damn it, here I go again
Conversations never end (Oh, oh)
You'll never good enough
You're not capable of love
Might as well just give it up (Oh, oh)
Lies, lies, lies
Overwhelmed inside
Haven't loved myself for a minute
Try, try, try to be on my side
I'm my own worst enemy, admit it
I need to treat myself better
I really can be so unkind
I know that I deserve better
If only you could hear it call all in my mind
I wouldn't say the things I do to anybody else
So why's it okay to say to myself?
I need to treat myself better
I need to treat myself, treat myself
I don't need nobody else
Runnin' this shit for myself
Lightning up and smell all of the roses (Oh, oh)
Voices keep on whisperin'
But you should just stop listenin'
You got all that magic and you know it (Oh, oh)
Lies, lies, lies
Overwhelmed inside
Haven't loved myself for a minute
Try, try, try to be on my side
I'm my own worst enemy, admit it
I need to treat myself better
I really can be so unkind
I know that I deserve better
If only you could hear it call all in my mind
I wouldn't say the things I do to anybody else
So why's it okay to say to myself?
I need to treat myself better
I need to treat myself, treat myself
Better than I do
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Better than I do
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Better than I do
Ooh-ooh
Better than I do
Ooh-ooh
Better than I do
Ooh-ooh
I need to treat myself, treat myself
Stay
Two in the mornin', a bottle of wine and
I'm drunk and I'm fallin' for you (Ha-ha-ha)
Take it or leave it, you know what I'm feelin'
And I know you're feelin' it too (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
I'm all up in my head
On the edge of the bed, oh
I swear, I never do this, but
Won't you stay, stay, stay, stay, oh
Won't you stay, stay, stay, stay, oh
Don't gotta go nowhere
We can stay right here

Well, you know what you're doin'
I love what you're doin' to me (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
I'm all up in my head
On the edge of the bed, oh
I swear, I never do this, but
Won't you stay, stay, stay, stay, oh (Won't you stay)
Won't you stay, stay, stay, stay, oh (Won't you stay)
Won't you take me in your arms, oh
Pull me in closer
Ha-ha-ha (Ha-ha-ha)
Won't you stay, stay, stay, stay, oh (Won't you stay)
We can stay up 'til the sun rises
All night long, all night long, yeah
This feeling's too good to fight
It can't be wrong, no, it can't be wrong
Two in the mornin', a bottle of wine and
I'm drunk and I'm fallin' for you
Stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay, oh (Won't you stay, oh-oh-oh)
Won't you stay, stay (Yeah), stay, stay, oh (Won't you stay)
Please just take me in your arms, oh
Pull me in closer
Ha-ha-ha (Ha-ha-ha)
Won't you stay, stay, stay, stay, oh (Won't you stay)
Too F*ckin' Nice
I never said a word, said I was such a good listener
Said you talked my ear off 'bout something, who knows what
Didn't wanna be diffucult, just count it as my loss
All the same excuses
Feeling kinda useless
Don't know why I do this
Why do I do this?
I'm way too fuckin' nice
I'll apologize
Even when I know right
I'm way too fuckin' nice
I'll apologize
Even when I know right
I'm too fuckin' nice
I'll tell you I'm sorry, simply for breathing (Simply for breathing)
Unnecessary, always people pleasing
All the same excuses (Yeah)
Feeling kinda useless
Don't know why I do this
Why do I do this?
I'm way too fuckin' nice
I'll apologize
Evеn when I know right
I'm too fuckin' nice
I'll apologize
Evеn when I know right
I'm too fuckin' nice
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

But Michael's so willing to please
Tony lets me disagree
Whenever the hell that I want to
He wears his heart like a tattoo
You suddenly show at my door
When I don't need you anymore
But how is a girl to be sure
If she's never tested the limit
Before she goes jumpin' back in it
I'm not saying you're not great and amazing and all
You just met me when I'm not really ready to fall
I need to know I really tasted I tasted 'em all
To know you could be
You know you would be
The last the last the last
The last man standing
To crash to crash to crash
To crash my landing
The last man standing standing
Begging for my hand and
I just hit ignore again
Baby love is war I been
Running running
You want in the running
Well lemme tell you somethin'
I'm not saying you're not great and amazing and all
You just met me when I'm not really ready to fall
I need to know I really tasted I tasted 'em all
To know you could be
You know you would be
The last the last the last
The last man standing
To crash to crash to crash
To crash my landing
The last man standing standing
Begging for my hand and
I just hit ignore again
Baby love is war I been
Running running
You want in the running
Well lemme tell you somethin'
The last man standing
I'm not saying you're not great and amazing and all
You just met me when I'm not really ready to fall
I need to know I really tasted I tasted 'em all
To know you could be
You know you would be
The last the last the last
The last man standing
To crash to crash to crash
To crash my landing
The last man standing

I want someone to think I'm special
Give me flowers for no reason
Yeah, I want something sentimental
Here I go again daydreamin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Could I've missed you passin' by?
Out at a bar under neon lights
I lie alone in bed at night
[Chorus]
I wonder what you're doing now
Are you lonely?
I wish we were making out
You could hold me
I don't need to know your name
Already miss your face
It's crazy thinking about how
You're only a stranger right now
[Verse 2]
I bet you like your coffee black
And you cry at movies like I do
I'll trace the islands of your chest
And learn what's bеhind every tattoo
'Cause I know that I'm safе with you, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
But I missed you passin' by
Out at a bar under neon lights
I lie alone in bed at night
[Chorus]
I wonder what you're doing now
Are you lonely?
I wish we were making out
You could hold me
I don't need to know your name
Already miss your face
It's crazy thinking about how
You're only a stranger right now
[Bridge]
I know that I found you somehow
[Chorus]
I almost can see it now
My one and only
You put your knee on the ground
And ask me slowly
I don't need to know your name
But I say "I'll do" someday
It's crazy thinking about how
You won't be a stranger
Big Girls Don't Cry (Victoria's Version)
La, da, da, da
The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your hometown
I need some shelter of my own protection, baby
Be with myself and center
Clarity, peace, serenity
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We got some straightening out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
The path that I'm walking, I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We got some straightening out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Like the little schoolmate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and UNO cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be my Valentine
Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I wanna hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers
And share our secret worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late and dark outside
I need to be with myself and center
Clarity, peace, serenity, yeah
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We got some straightening out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
La, da, da, da, da, da
Tekst:
I think I'm going insane cause
Three words are spilling out
Can't hear the thoughts in my brain
Cause my heart's beating too loud
It's like I wanna hold you but I'm holding back
I think it's kinda sexy when you make me laugh
But then I'm pushing you away
I say I don't need you but I'm back for more
And then we're making out on my kitchen floor
I'm not used to all these feelings
So I'm running from my feelings
How'd I?
Trip into this
Fall for your kiss
Slipped on your lips
Didn't see it coming I just
Tri-tripped into this
Tried to resist
Losing my grip
Swear that I'm not falling I just
Tri-tripped
Oops I
Tri-tripped
Who gave you the right to look at me like you do
Got shooting stars in my eyes
And my body's on the moon
There's a gravity that's pulling me to you
But if I let you win I got a lot to lose
I should probably leavе before I want you more
But instеad I'm naked on your bedroom floor
I'm not used to all these feelings
So I'm running from my feelings
How'd I?
Trip into this
Fall for your kiss
Slipped on your lips
Didn't see it coming I just
Tri-tripped into this
Tried to resist
Losing my grip
Swear that I'm not falling I just
Tri-tripped
Oops I
Tri-tripped
[Bridge]
(Trippin' on you)
(On you)
How'd I go from
Kissin' to missin' you
Double dipping
Cause you're so good at listening
I'm back for more
My guard is stripping down
Oh my god what have you done?
Threw off my equilibrium
I'm terrified to fall in love
But here I go committing
How'd I
Trip into this
Fall for your kiss
Slipped on your lips
Didn't see it coming I just
Tri-tripped into this
Tried to resist
Losing my grip
Swear that I'm not falling I just
Tri-tripped
Oops I
Tri-tripped
Tri-tripped
Oops I
Tri-tripped
Oops I
Tripped
Mm-mm
Tell me, how'd you find your way under my skin?
I wasn't ready yet to let somebody in
I think about you way more than I should've been
I can't lie, oh, I
Never been too good at bein' vulnerable
I'm nervous 'cause I'm startin' to get comfortable
Thinkin' that we could be somethin' beautiful
This time (But I gotta ask you)
If I'm lettin' down my walls
I gotta know that you would love me through it all
Mm
Through my awkward, my messy
My sad and all my sexy
My anxious, my lovely
My weird and all my ugly
All the pieces that make me
My sanity, my crazy
Would you take me with my flaws?
'Cause I'm not perfect but I'll givе you raw
(Ooh, ooh)
Yeah, I'll give you raw
(Ooh, ooh)
Oh, I'm
Throwin' all my hesitation out thе door
Showin' you the colors no one's seen before
All I wanna do is tell the world I'm yours
And you're mine
But, If I'm lettin' down my walls
I gotta know that you would love me through it all
Mm-mm
Through my awkward, my messy
My sad and all my sexy
My anxious, my lovely
My weird and all my ugly
All the pieces that make me
My sanity, my crazy
Would you take me with my flaws?
'Cause I'm not perfect but I'll give you raw
(Ooh, ooh)
Yeah, I'll give you raw
(Uh-uh, ooh, ooh)
Through my awkward, my messy
My sad and all my sexy
My anxious, my lovely
My weird and all my ugly
All the pieces that make me
My sanity, my crazy (My crazy)
Would you take me with my flaws?
'Cause I'm not perfect but I'll give you raw
