Her breakout came with her debut single, "Pieces of Me", which was released in 2004, became a top-five hit in the United States, and topped the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart based on radio airplay. The success of the single and her reality show helped propel her debut album, Autobiography, also released in 2004, to the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart. The project sold over five million copies worldwide, making it her most successful album to date. Simpson had a leading role in the film Undiscovered (2005), which became a critical and commercial flop. The failure of the film, along with multiple critically panned performances, led to media scrutiny. Despite that, Simpson's second studio album, I Am Me (2005), debuted atop the Billboard 200, becoming her second album to do so. The album went on to receive a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Following her appearance as Roxie Hart in the West End production of Chicago, Simpson announced that she had begun working on her third studio album. The album differed from the pop-rock sound of her previous efforts, featuring a dance-pop and 1980s-themed sound. Bittersweet World was released in 2008 with positive critical reception, but it saw a decline in sales. The effort reached number 4 on the Billboard 200. The following year, Simpson joined the main cast of the Melrose Place revamp, which was met with harsh critical reception. Later that year, she made her Broadway debut reprising her role as Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway.
Simpson announced a fourth studio album that same year. She independently released the single "Bat for a Heart", though it failed to have success. Simpson eventually scrapped the album and focused on her child. Simpson reprised her role as Roxie Hart for the third time in a 2-dates special production in Hollywood Bowl in July 2013 directed by Brooke Shields. In October, Simpson and her husband Evan Ross released their debut EP by Ashlee + Evan through Access Records, which was supported by a tour in select cities across North America, and their TV reality show.
She was married to musician Pete Wentz from 2008 to 2011. The couple's son, Bronx Mowgli Wentz, was born on November 20, 2008. She appeared as Violet Foster, a small-town girl in The CW's 2009 Melrose Place, a revamp of the '90s drama of the same name.
Little Miss Obsessive
Ashlee Simpson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woah, woah, woah (that side of your bed is still mine)
Am I the reason why you tossed and turned last night?
Everything's such a blur, it didn't come out right
All of the sudden it's cold and we're falling apart
No, this can't be, please don't leave me alone in the dark
And I guess we're really over, so come over, I'm not over it
And I guess we're really over, so come over, I'm not over it
Late night you make me feel like I'm desperate, I'm not desperate
Oh, a little bit possessive, little miss obsessive, can't get over it
Woah, woah, woah (that side of your bed is still mine)
Woah, woah, woah (that side of your bed is still mine)
I've never been a fan of long good-byes
I'm at the finish line and you're just way too far behind
In the morning I got in a fight with myself, I got the bruises to prove it
Then I swallowed your words and spit them right back out
And I guess we're really over, so come over, I'm not over it
And I guess we're really over, so come over, I'm not over it
Late night you make me feel like I'm desperate, Aim not desperate
Oh, a little bit possessive, little miss obsessive, can't get over it
No
It's like a fairy tale without a happy ending (happy ending)
But then again maybe we are just pretending
Why does it have to be so unfair?
Tell me that you care
And I guess we're really over, but come over, I'm not over it
And I guess we're really over, so come over, I'm not over it, oh
Little miss, little miss, little miss, little miss obsessive
Late night you make me feel like I'm desperate, I'm not desperate
Oh, a little bit possessive, little miss obsessive, can't get over it
Woah, woah, woah (that side of your bed is still mine)
Woah, woah, woah (that side of your bed is still mine)
