An old soul with a timeless sound, Caruso made a name for herself as a founding member and the driving force behind the critically acclaimed alt-country ensemble Freddy and Francine, whose infectious melodies and heartfelt lyrics quickly became regular installations at LA's Hotel Cafe, McCabe's Guitar Shop, and throughout southern California.
Her freelance career includes touring nationally backing up 'Wicked' star Idina Menzel, performing in The Met Theater's hit revival of 'HAIR' with Original Broadway Producer Michael Butler, and collaborations with a growing list of LA's up-and-coming talent.
After three releases in as many years, featured rotation on LA's KCRW, and cultivating a madly loyal audience for Freddy and Francine, Caruso now steps into the limelight alone with "Bravado" - a new batch of songs and a sound too big, it turns out, even for Texas.
I Wanna Go Home With You
Bianca Caruso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And who's to say that you want me too
You're getting older but you're growing down
I miss you when you're not around
I ain't pretty when I ain't true
I'm holding on to what's been holding you
I kinda like it when you're not around
You say I'm crazy
You say I'm wrong
You say I got to be the only one
There's a million things that I could do
But I wanna go home with you
I wanna go home with you
What's a man got to do
God I wish that I was close to you
I'm living like I never lost my head
I'm sorry for the things I said
In my mind, you're out of your head
I've been dreaming of the things you said
No one wants to hear your every thought
I'm drowning when you think I'm not
You say I'm crazy
You say I'm wrong
You say I got to be the only one
There's a million things that I could do
But I wanna go home with you
I wanna go home with you
What if I said what was on my mind
What if you did what I'm thinking now
You say I'm crazy
You say I'm wrong
You say I got to be the only one
There's a million things that I could do
But I wanna go home with you
You say I'm crazy
You say I'm wrong
You say I got to be the only one
There's a million things that I could do
But I wanna go home with you
I wanna go home with you
I wanna go home with you
